  MASTER OT J205329.99+224421.2 (GCN 25900Not found
 
 
) - optical transient discovered 
at 2019-09-30 21:38:47UT in anonymous edge-on galaxy
is located in the center of LVC S190930s error-box (mass gap event at 752 +- 223 Mpc, Ttrig=2019-09-30 14:34:07 UT

We reobserved MASTER OT J205529.78+220725.5 in MASTER-Tavrida,
it became brighter  on 6 images 2019-10-01 16:51:37- 18:15:11UT, m_OT~17.8.

In accordance with the distances for gavitational-wave alerts, we obtain 
the following distance modulus and absolute magnitudes

LVC_alert       Dist,Mpc   Dist.modulus   Mag (absolute) 
S190930t (min)    71       34.3          -15.5
S190930t (max)    145      35.8          -17.0
S190930s (min)    528      38.6          -19.8 
S190930s (max)    976      39.9          -21.2
