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 GRB230803.98 (trigger No 712798043,03h 14m 57.60s , -33d 52m 47.6s, R=4.4) errorbox  576 sec after notice time and 608 sec after trigger time at 2023-08-03 23:37:26 UT, with upper limit up to  15.6 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 68 deg. The sun  altitude  is -71.2 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -58 deg., longitude l = 234 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
