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) was pointed to the Swift GRB 230622A ( A. Melandri et al., GCN 34058) errorbox  24809 sec after notice time and 25243 sec after trigger time at 2023-06-22 17:05:04 UT, with upper limit up to  17.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 84 deg. The sun  altitude  is -17.1 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -23 deg., longitude l =  6 deg.
