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 GRB 200522A ( P. A. Evans et al., GCN 27778) errorbox  52336 sec after notice time and 52358 sec after trigger time at 2020-05-23 02:14:12 UT, with upper limit up to  19.7 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 73 deg. The sun  altitude  is -40.2 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -62 deg., longitude l = 109 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
