MASTER Global Robotic Net (http://observ.pereplet.ru,Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)
started SGR 1935+2154 (Barthelmy et al., GCN 27657, 19h 34m 56s +21d 53' 43", er.b. 3')
error-box observations at 2020-04-27 21:57:38UT (3.5h after Swift trigger).

MASTER-Tavrida observed it since 2020-04-27 21:57:38UT to 2020-04-28 00:32:48UT with
unfiltered mlim=20.0m
(observations began at altitute 26deg, the sun  altitude was -31deg.)

MASTER-SAAO observed error-box since 2020-04-28 00:34:53 (target 
altitude 18deg, Sun alt.-57deg) to 2020-04-28 04:03:37UT with 
unfiltered mlim~19-20.2

MASTER-IAC observed error-box 1.5h since 2020-04-28 04:12:42 (target 
altitude = 66deg, sun alt.-23deg)  with unfiltered mlim=19.7-20.

The next alert of this SGR was from Integral (trigger time 2020-04-28 
14:34:24 UT, Mereghetti et al. GCN 27668)

MASTER-Amur and MASTER-Tunka observed it automatically started
at 14:34:46UT (22s after trigger time) and at 2020-04-28 14:40:28 UT, 
Lipunov et al. GCN 27666. 
Real time updated cover map and possible OT will be available at:
