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 210702A ( A. Y. Lien et al., GCN 30351) errorbox 822 sec after trigger time at 2021-07-02 19:20:56 UT, with upper limit up to  18.6 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 51 deg. The sun  altitude  is -44.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 22 deg., longitude l = 283 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
