MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S230621ad errorbox  37288 sec after notice time and 37379 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-21 16:45:21 UT, with upper limit up to  18.9 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 57 deg. The sun  altitude  is -13.2 deg. 

MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S230621ad errorbox  63414 sec after notice time and 63506 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-22 00:00:48 UT, with upper limit up to  17.4 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 62 deg. The sun  altitude  is -13.1 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 56 deg., longitude l = 251 deg.
