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) started inspect of the Fermi GRB230803.06 (trigger No 712718833,10h 33m 38.40s , -64d 22m 48.0s, R=3.33) errorbox  566 sec after notice time and 602 sec after trigger time at 2023-08-03 01:37:10 UT, with upper limit up to  15.2 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 83 deg. The sun  altitude  is -48.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -6 deg., longitude l = 289 deg.
