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 S230618s errorbox  53365 sec after notice time and 53473 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-19 00:26:29 UT, with upper limit up to  12.2 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 73 deg. The sun  altitude  is -34.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b =  9 deg., longitude l = 259 deg.
