MASTER-SAAO very wide field cameras (d=82 mm, FOV = 2x384 sq. degree)
syncronously observed GRB190821A (D'Ai et al. GCN 25427) position before,
during and after trigger time. We do not see OT at Swift XRT (Gropp et al.
GCN 25444) position up to 12 mag. The syncronous observation movie is
avalable here:

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) was pointed to the Swift GRB190821A errorbox 8 sec after
notice time and 41 sec after trigger time at 2019-08-21 17:10:44 UT, with
upper limit up to 18.4 mag (Lipunov et al. GCN 25429; GCN 25433).
Observations
started at twilight. We alse do not see OT at Swift XRT. The
observations began at zenit distance = 3 deg. The sun altitude is -12.4
deg.
