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) was pointed to the HAWC Alert 190806.56 (trigger No 957,  5h 13m 33.60s , + 6d 36m 36.00s, R=0.4) errorbox  47786 sec after trigger time at 2019-08-07 02:37:14 UT, with upper limit up to  18.3 mag. The observations began at zenit distance = 72 deg. The sun  altitude  is -35.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -60 deg., longitude l = 98 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
