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 GRB 230906A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 34631) errorbox  30270 sec after notice time and 30304 sec after trigger time at 2023-09-06 21:20:11 UT, with upper limit up to  18.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 79 deg. The sun  altitude  is -58.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -34 deg., longitude l = 254 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
