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 S230615af errorbox 57882 sec after notice time and 57927 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-16 04:59:37 UT, with upper limit up to 19.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 68 deg. The sun altitude is -80.6 deg.
The galactic latitude b = 3 deg., longitude l = 94 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
