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) was pointed to the Swift GRB230818.98 (trigger No 1186032,19h 03m 31.90s , +40d 52m 34.7s, R=0.05) errorbox 19 sec after notice time and 37 sec after trigger time at 2023-08-18 23:28:11 UT, with upper limit up to 18.6 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 48 deg. The sun altitude is -28.4 deg.
MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) was pointed to the Swift GRB230818.98 errorbox 24 sec after notice time and 41 sec after trigger time at 2023-08-18 23:28:15 UT, with upper limit up to 17.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 54 deg. The sun altitude is -26.2 deg.
The galactic latitude b = 15 deg., longitude l = 72 deg.
