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 S230608aw errorbox  25858 sec after notice time and 25951 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-09 06:59:58 UT, with upper limit up to  18.2 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 73 deg. The sun  altitude  is -56.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -86 deg., longitude l = 137 deg.
