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 GRB210807.78 (trigger No 1064377,16h 20m 31.75s , -15d 53m 51.4s, R=0.05) errorbox  12 sec after notice time and 153 sec after trigger time at 2021-08-07 18:44:14 UT, with upper limit up to  18.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 20 deg. The sun  altitude  is -33.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 23 deg., longitude l = 359 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
