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) started inspect of the IceCube Alert 230405.56 (trigger No 8756840,07h 55m 59.76s , +10d 19m 37.2s, R=1.16) errorbox  1 days 14165 sec after notice time and 1 days 14211 sec after trigger time at 2023-04-06 17:17:11 UT, with upper limit up to  17.9 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 43 deg. The sun  altitude  is -11.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 20 deg., longitude l = 211 deg.
