MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru,
Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located near 
Bykal Lake (Irkutsk University Astrophysical Center) was starting survey
on the FERMI  GRB180914.52  error-box  (Poolakkil et al., GCN #23227).

17768 sec after trigger time at 
2018-09-14 17:27:55 UT. The 5-sigma upper limit on our first (180s 
exposure)  set is about 16.0 mag

No OT found.

MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, 
Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in 
South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) was starting survey 
on the LAT  GRB180914.52  error-box (ra=03 30 
57 dec=-05 15 35 r=0.4, (Bissaldi et al., GCN #23225)). 
15521 sec after notice time and 38331 sec after trigger time at 2018-09-14 
23:10:38 UT. The 5-sigma upper limit on our first (180s exposure)  set is 
about 18.5 mag

The cover map is available at 
http://observ.pereplet.ru/images/GRB180914A.png

No new objects brighter than 18.5 mag  were found after the human analysis 
of automatic candidates.


====================================================================


The galacitc latitude b =  0 deg.

The observations made on zenit distance = 54 deg.The moon (31 % bright 
part) below the horizon (The altitude of the Moon is -19 deg. ).
The sun  altitude  is -59.4 deg.
The object can be observed till sunrise at 2018-09-15 04:35:52
