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 S230622e errorbox 289 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-22 00:23:51 UT, with upper limit up to  17.0 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 60 deg. The sun  altitude  is -10.3 deg. 

MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S230622e errorbox 979 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-22 00:35:21 UT, with upper limit up to  20.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 61 deg. The sun  altitude  is -63.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -76 deg., longitude l = 92 deg.
