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) was pointed to the Swift GRB230916.12 (trigger No 1192234,16h 19m 13.27s , -15d 53m 07.1s, R=0.05) errorbox 16 sec after notice time and 368 sec after trigger time at 2023-09-16 02:52:32 UT, with upper limit up to 17.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 77 deg. The sun altitude is -53.7 deg.
The galactic latitude b = 23 deg., longitude l = 359 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:

We obtain a following upper limits.
Tmid-T0 | Site |Filt.| Expt. | Limit| Comment
_________|_____________________|_____|_______|______|________
404 | MASTER-OAFA | C | 70 | 17.4 |
488 | MASTER-OAFA | C | 60 | 17.1 |
578 | MASTER-OAFA | C | 80 | 17.4 |
Filter C is a clear (unfiltred) band.
The observation and reduction will continue.
