MASTER-OAGH robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Mexico (OAGH National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 230707A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 34156) errorbox  174 sec after notice time and 210 sec after trigger time at 2023-07-07 03:26:21 UT, with upper limit up to  18.0 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 71 deg. The sun  altitude  is -11.9 deg. 

MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 230707A errorbox  804 sec after notice time and 840 sec after trigger time at 2023-07-07 03:36:52 UT, with upper limit up to  12.3 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 87 deg. The sun  altitude  is -73.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 42 deg., longitude l = 279 deg.
