MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S200224ca errorbox  325 sec after trigger time at 2020-02-24 22:27:59 UT, with upper limit up to  18.2 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 53 deg. The sun  altitude  is -53.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 49 deg., longitude l = 277 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
