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 S200316bj errorbox 115 sec after notice time and 472 sec after trigger time at 2020-03-16 22:05:48 UT, with upper limit up to 16.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 65 deg. The sun altitude is -47.1 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -60 deg., longitude l = 98 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
