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 230409A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 33591) errorbox  78316 sec after notice time and 78350 sec after trigger time at 2023-04-09 22:34:04 UT, with upper limit up to  16.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 81 deg. The sun  altitude  is -36.1 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -23 deg., longitude l = 80 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
