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 LIGO/Virgo S230605o errorbox  14 sec after notice time and 68 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-05 06:54:51 UT, with upper limit up to  16.3 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 36 deg. The sun  altitude  is -57.4 deg. 

The galactic latitude b =  4 deg., longitude l = 21 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
