MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) was pointed to the Swift GRB 200509A ( E. Troja et al., GCN 27701) errorbox  42927 sec after notice time and 42979 sec after trigger time at 2020-05-09 18:43:37 UT, with upper limit up to  19.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 56 deg. The sun  altitude  is -36.1 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 10 deg., longitude l = 224 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
