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) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 230321A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 33490) errorbox  31100 sec after notice time and 31106 sec after trigger time at 2023-03-21 13:00:10 UT, with upper limit up to  17.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 54 deg. The sun  altitude  is -29.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -8 deg., longitude l = 175 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
