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 210421C ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 29871) errorbox  3606 sec after notice time and 3636 sec after trigger time at 2021-04-21 21:13:29 UT, with upper limit up to  18.8 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 24 deg. The sun  altitude  is -62.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b =  1 deg., longitude l = 303 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
