MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) was pointed to the Swift GRB 201031A ( S. Laha et al., GCN 28814) errorbox  34924 sec after notice time and 35035 sec after trigger time at 2020-11-01 00:03:50 UT, with upper limit up to  16.6 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 76 deg. The sun  altitude  is -13.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 20 deg., longitude l = 11 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
