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 201121A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 28935) errorbox  663 sec after notice time and 719 sec after trigger time at 2020-11-21 01:41:48 UT, with upper limit up to  16.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 84 deg. The sun  altitude  is -19.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 32 deg., longitude l = 322 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
