MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) started inspect of the Fermi GRB230802.99 (trigger No 712713532,01h 28m 52.80s , +09d 37m 12.0s, R=5.88) errorbox  33 sec after notice time and 66 sec after trigger time at 2023-08-02 23:59:54 UT, with upper limit up to  18.6 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 53 deg. The sun  altitude  is -21.4 deg. 

MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB230802.99 errorbox  578 sec after notice time and 611 sec after trigger time at 2023-08-03 00:08:59 UT, with upper limit up to  18.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 62 deg. The sun  altitude  is -66.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -52 deg., longitude l = 139 deg.
