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 Swift GRB 190627A error-box (Sonbas  et al. GCN 24888, trigger 911609, 11:18:31UT, BAT 16h 19m 19.20s , - 5d 17m 31.20s, R=0.05)
  19594 sec after trigger time at 2019-06-27 16:45:05 UT, with upper limit up to  19.4 mag.

MASTER auto-detection system detected optical counterpart
with unfiltered m_OT~18.2 (W=0.2B+0.8R calibrated by USNO-B1 R2,B2)
(OT was discovered by Swift GCN 24888, and also publishied in GCN 24889, GCN 24892, GCN 24893, GCN24894)

Observations started at twilight after sunset.
Observations began at alt. = 30 deg., the sun  altitude  was -12.8 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -60 deg., longitude l = 98 deg.

The observation and reduction will continue.
