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 210818A ( A. P. Beardmore et al., GCN 30652) errorbox  22995 sec after notice time and 23077 sec after trigger time at 2021-08-18 07:27:44 UT, with upper limit up to  18.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 62 deg. The sun  altitude  is -47.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -25 deg., longitude l = 301 deg.
