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) was pointed to the Swift GRB230720.30 (trigger No 1180055,16h 23m 50.45s , -12d 43m 34.7s, R=0.05) errorbox  50209 sec after notice time and 50298 sec after trigger time at 2023-07-20 21:16:42 UT, with upper limit up to  17.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 74 deg. The sun  altitude  is -26.4 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 24 deg., longitude l =  3 deg.
