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) was pointed to the Swift GRB 230618A ( K. L. Page (U Leicester) and S. Laha (GSFC/UMBC) report on behalf of et al., GCN 33989) errorbox  10 sec after notice time and 42 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-18 03:54:03 UT, with upper limit up to  19.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 67 deg. The sun  altitude  is -78.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 66 deg., longitude l = 314 deg.
