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 GRB220402.16 (trigger No 1100848,02h 02m 46.18s , -61d 22m 35.0s, R=0.05) errorbox  89 sec after notice time and 97 sec after trigger time at 2022-04-02 03:56:20 UT, with upper limit up to  16.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 84 deg. The sun  altitude  is -62.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -54 deg., longitude l = 288 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
