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 210421A ( M. J. Moss et al., GCN 29849) errorbox  13 sec after notice time and 47 sec after trigger time at 2021-04-21 00:28:17 UT, with upper limit up to  17.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 54 deg. The sun  altitude  is -30.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b =  5 deg., longitude l = 210 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
