MASTER-SAAO  have new images of  NGC 4993 galaxy starting 2017-08-18 
17:06:55 UT in B, R and unfiletred with magnitude limit 19.8. We see
object in B and unfiltered images detected by Coulter et al. (LVC GCN  21529),
Allam et  al. (LVC GCN 21530), Yang et al. (LVC GCN 21531), 
Melandri et al. (LVC GCN 21532), Lipunov et al., (LVC GCN 21546).
