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 Swift GRB221226.95 (trigger No 1145959,01h 31m 40.08s , -41d 33m 14.4s, R=0.05) errorbox  21 sec after notice time and 42 sec after trigger time at 2022-12-26 22:42:02 UT, with upper limit up to  15.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 58 deg. The sun  altitude  is -34.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -73 deg., longitude l = 274 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
