MASTER Global robotic net (MASTER-Net:http://observ.pereplet.ru Lipunov et al.,2010,Advances in Astronomy,2010,30L)
observed 12:32:48.725 -01:29:22.56  in survey mode (several images per night, not sequential, with different centers)
at MASTER-OAFA ~3h befor Zwicky detection (2021-05-04 05:34:39.360UT in TNSTR1478, Yao et al. GCN 29938).

There is optical source detected by MASTER auto-detection system as
MASTER OT J123248.62-012924.5 (sigma ~1")

We have nearest reference images at 2021-05-01 04:49:38UT.
Reduction will be continued.
