MASTER-IAC robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Spain (IAC Teide Observatory) was pointed to the Swift GRB 200729A ( P. A. Evans et al., GCN 28165) errorbox  3549 sec after notice time and 3617 sec after trigger time at 2020-07-29 20:38:22 UT, with upper limit up to  15.9 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 48 deg. The sun  altitude  is -9.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 71 deg., longitude l = 140 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
