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 GRB190508.81 (trigger No 579036175, 11h 51m 50.40s , +23d 31m 48.00s, R=2.12) errorbox  151 sec after trigger time at 2019-05-08 19:25:21 UT, with upper limit up to  17.2 mag. The observations began at zenit distance = 56 deg. The sun  altitude  is -44.7 deg. 

MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB190508.81 errorbox  583 sec after trigger time at 2019-05-08 19:32:34 UT, with upper limit up to  19.1 mag. The observations began at zenit distance = 27 deg. The sun  altitude  is -26.1 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -60 deg., longitude l = 98 deg.
