MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S190602aq errorbox 7805 sec after trigger time at 2019-06-02 20:09:32 UT, with upper limit up to 19.7 mag. The observations began at zenit distance = 135 deg. The sun altitude is -56.0 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -60 deg., longitude l = 98 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
