MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  (MASTER Global Robotic Net http://observ.pereplet.ru, 
Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy,vol. 2010, 30L)
automatically was pointed to the GRB190530A Fermi LAT localization 
(Longo et al GCN 24679) (also inspected BALROG localization Biltzinger et al. GCN 24677  and  Fermi team error-box GCN 24676)
at 2019-05-30 18:12:10 (sun altitute= -16deg., alert_altitute=23deg.)

We detect MASTER OT J080207.73+352847.7  (RA,Dec2000)=08h 02m 07.73s +35d 28m 47.7s
with m_OT=16.7m (but in 3.8" there is optical source  at PANSTARRs images 
with  rmag=20.9, gmag=22.6)

OT is inside Barlog error box (GCN 24677).
The covered map and OT place is available at

Observation and reduction will be continued.
