MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S230615t errorbox  19512 sec after notice time and 19556 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-15 15:47:25 UT, with upper limit up to  15.3 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 23 deg. The sun  altitude  is -13.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 31 deg., longitude l = 264 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
