MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 230817A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 34464) errorbox  5213 sec after notice time and 5246 sec after trigger time at 2023-08-17 13:30:22 UT, with upper limit up to  15.9 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 59 deg. The sun  altitude  is -9.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -29 deg., longitude l = 70 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
