MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 230911B ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 34653) errorbox  928 sec after notice time and 961 sec after trigger time at 2023-09-11 04:41:51 UT, with upper limit up to  13.2 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 24 deg. The sun  altitude  is -63.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -59 deg., longitude l = 326 deg.
