MASTER-OAFA obotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)
pointed to MAXI/GSC GRB 230623A (Hagiwara et al. GCN 34068,
Trigger=2023-06-23 07:23:37 UT, not came in socket, Tnotice(GCN)=09:39:20)
at 2023-06-23 10:14:25UT through  clouds with  mlim=17.0 at first 6 images (sun alt.=-16 and sunrise), we don't find OT insode 0.23deg MAXI error-box by auto-detection system.

We also made the difference with old MASTER image and didn't find new optical sources, that can be connected with GRB.
