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) started inspect of the Fermi GRB211116.59 (trigger No 658764238,18h 24m 57.60s , -33d 36m 00.0s, R=2.01) errorbox  3364 sec after notice time and 14334 sec after trigger time at 2021-11-16 18:02:47 UT, with upper limit up to  15.9 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 59 deg. The sun  altitude  is -9.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -10 deg., longitude l =  0 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
