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 S230615an errorbox 1 days 54971 sec after notice time and 1 days 55025 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-17 04:52:27 UT, with upper limit up to 17.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 47 deg. The sun altitude is -81.5 deg.
The galactic latitude b = 13 deg., longitude l = 288 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
