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) was pointed to the Swift GRB 210102C ( E. Troja et al., GCN 29226) errorbox  14718 sec after notice time and 14840 sec after trigger time at 2021-01-03 00:45:31 UT, with upper limit up to  17.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 78 deg. The sun  altitude  is -27.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 14 deg., longitude l = 337 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
