MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) was pointed to the Swift GRB 200819A ( S. Dichiara et al., GCN 28263) errorbox  80 sec after notice time and 149 sec after trigger time at 2020-08-19 15:46:22 UT, with upper limit up to  17.7 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 39 deg. The sun  altitude  is -23.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b =  1 deg., longitude l = 127 deg.
