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 S230620ad errorbox  22840 sec after notice time and 22921 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-20 10:12:55 UT, with upper limit up to  18.4 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 59 deg. The sun  altitude  is -16.5 deg. 

MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S230620ad errorbox  85150 sec after notice time and 85231 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-21 03:31:25 UT, with upper limit up to  18.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 69 deg. The sun  altitude  is -26.2 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 67 deg., longitude l = 77 deg.
