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 S230618r errorbox 91 sec after notice time and 149 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-18 09:09:56 UT, with upper limit up to 17.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 81 deg. The sun altitude is -29.5 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -28 deg., longitude l = 258 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
