MASTER-OAGH robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Mexico (OAGH National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics) was pointed to the Swift GRB 220403B ( N. J. Klingler et al., GCN 31820) errorbox  20759 sec after notice time and 20778 sec after trigger time at 2022-04-04 02:29:01 UT, with upper limit up to  17.7 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 59 deg. The sun  altitude  is -11.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 28 deg., longitude l = 123 deg.
