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 GRB210903.58 (trigger No 1071765,12h 24m 38.93s , -62d 40m 53.8s, R=0.0016) errorbox  34282 sec after notice time and 34506 sec after trigger time at 2021-09-03 23:31:41 UT, with upper limit up to  17.3 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 59 deg. The sun  altitude  is -16.1 deg. 

MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) was pointed to the Swift GRB210903.58 errorbox  41864 sec after notice time and 42088 sec after trigger time at 2021-09-04 01:38:04 UT, with upper limit up to  15.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 84 deg. The sun  altitude  is -41.4 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -0 deg., longitude l = 300 deg.
