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 S230609a errorbox  151 sec after notice time and 195 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-09 01:11:39 UT, with upper limit up to  18.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 68 deg. The sun  altitude  is -44.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 78 deg., longitude l = 183 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
