MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, v.2010, 30L)
was pointed to Swift Trigger 887541  (Barthelmy  et al. GCN23849,Ttrig=2019-02-03 21:18:17UT)
~3h after trigger time (at alert time error-box was under the horizon at all MASTER observatories)
at  2019-02-04 00:16:44UT.

There is no OT inside Swift-XRT error-box with unfiltered mlim=17.5 
(5sigma, 180s exposition)

The observations started when error-box altitude was 9 deg.
The sun altitude was -38deg.
