MASTER-Amur robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Blagoveshchensk State Pedagogical University) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S191129u errorbox  365 sec after notice time and 2972 sec after trigger time at 2019-11-29 14:30:01 UT, with upper limit up to  16.2 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 77 deg. The sun  altitude  is -59.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -52 deg., longitude l = 349 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
