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 GRB230311.85 (trigger No 1159442,04h 39m 55.66s , +44d 40m 25.7s, R=0.05) errorbox  51098 sec after notice time and 51190 sec after trigger time at 2023-03-12 10:36:15 UT, with upper limit up to  15.0 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 18 deg. The sun  altitude  is -11.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -1 deg., longitude l = 160 deg.
