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 201221D ( K. L. Page et al., GCN 29112) errorbox  33444 sec after notice time and 33517 sec after trigger time at 2020-12-22 08:25:12 UT, with upper limit up to  17.5 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 75 deg. The sun  altitude  is -12.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 67 deg., longitude l = 167 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
