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 210318A ( E. Troja et al., GCN 29662) errorbox 50452 sec after notice time and 50501 sec after trigger time at 2021-03-18 17:56:12 UT, with upper limit up to 19.7 mag. Observations started at twilight. The observations began at zenith distance = 58 deg. The sun altitude is -14.2 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -69 deg., longitude l = 248 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
