MASTER-Amur robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Blagoveshchensk State Pedagogical University) was pointed to the Swift GRB 220118A ( N. J. Klingler et al., GCN 31490) errorbox  4483 sec after notice time and 4505 sec after trigger time at 2022-01-18 19:35:43 UT, with upper limit up to  15.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 29 deg. The sun  altitude  is -35.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 86 deg., longitude l = 303 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
