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 Baksan Neutrino Observatory Alert 200819.88 (trigger No 1648587875,17h 16m 00.00s , -32d 54m 00.0s, R=3) errorbox  72 sec after notice time and 951 sec after trigger time at 2020-08-19 21:20:26 UT, with upper limit up to  19.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 43 deg. The sun  altitude  is -62.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b =  3 deg., longitude l = 354 deg.
