MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 230402A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 33553) errorbox  32029 sec after notice time and 32063 sec after trigger time at 2023-04-02 16:26:59 UT, with upper limit up to  15.8 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 61 deg. The sun  altitude  is -9.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -15 deg., longitude l = 222 deg.
