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 GRB231203.29 (trigger No 723279695,15h 58m 43.20s , -49d 46m 12.0s, R=7.12) errorbox  40985 sec after notice time and 41021 sec after trigger time at 2023-12-03 18:25:12 UT, with upper limit up to  16.1 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 82 deg. The sun  altitude  is -10.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b =  2 deg., longitude l = 331 deg.
