MASTER-Amur robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Blagoveshchensk State Pedagogical University) started inspect of the IceCube Alert 200512.31 (trigger No 58268464,19h 40m 43.20s , +15d 47m 24.0s, R=1.63) errorbox  36576 sec after notice time and 36627 sec after trigger time at 2020-05-12 17:41:54 UT, with upper limit up to  12.3 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 43 deg. The sun  altitude  is -15.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -4 deg., longitude l = 53 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
