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 GRB230503.85 (trigger No 704837952,04h 23m 57.60s , -48d 44m 24.0s, R=2.88) errorbox  73600 sec after notice time and 73631 sec after trigger time at 2023-05-04 16:46:19 UT, with upper limit up to  17.5 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 54 deg. The sun  altitude  is -10.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -44 deg., longitude l = 256 deg.
