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 GRB230913.70 (trigger No 1191903,19h 58m 46.70s , +35d 26m 01.0s, R=0.05) errorbox  19 sec after notice time and 102 sec after trigger time at 2023-09-13 16:45:58 UT, with upper limit up to  15.6 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 18 deg. The sun  altitude  is -9.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b =  3 deg., longitude l = 72 deg.
