MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S230621bq errorbox  15 sec after notice time and 785 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 = -16 deg., longitude l = 144 deg.
