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 Fermi GRB230409.63 (trigger No 702745263,06h 41m 57.60s , +44d 55m 12.0s, R=1.15) errorbox  8136 sec after notice time and 8177 sec after trigger time at 2023-04-09 17:17:15 UT, with upper limit up to  17.9 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 78 deg. The sun  altitude  is -11.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 18 deg., longitude l = 171 deg.
