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) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 200623B ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 28017) errorbox  552 sec after notice time and 590 sec after trigger time at 2020-06-23 18:12:39 UT, with upper limit up to  18.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 74 deg. The sun  altitude  is -30.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -43 deg., longitude l = 328 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
