MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) was pointed to the LAT GRB231222.31 (trigger No 724922767,16h 45m 24.00s , +19d 30m 00.0s, R=0.299833) errorbox  9379 sec after notice time and 49215 sec after trigger time at 2023-12-22 21:06:17 UT, with upper limit up to  18.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 81 deg. The sun  altitude  is -36.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 36 deg., longitude l = 38 deg.
