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 IceCube Alert 211023.36 (trigger No 55176071,16h 54m 20.18s , -01d 50m 11.0s, R=0.584) errorbox  33119 sec after notice time and 33168 sec after trigger time at 2021-10-23 17:44:07 UT, with upper limit up to  15.1 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 68 deg. The sun  altitude  is -10.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 24 deg., longitude l = 17 deg.
