MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB230520.97 (trigger No 706317104,02h 06m 57.60s , -62d 06m 00.0s, R=1) errorbox  876 sec after notice time and 891 sec after trigger time at 2023-05-20 23:26:30 UT, with upper limit up to  17.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 79 deg. The sun  altitude  is -21.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -53 deg., longitude l = 288 deg.
