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) was pointed to the Swift GRB 230414B ( A. D'Ai et al., GCN 33612) errorbox  1644 sec after notice time and 1703 sec after trigger time at 2023-04-14 16:42:44 UT, with upper limit up to  16.1 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 32 deg. The sun  altitude  is -9.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 63 deg., longitude l = 138 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
