MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 200903C ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 28361) errorbox  8291 sec after notice time and 8323 sec after trigger time at 2020-09-03 23:57:42 UT, with upper limit up to  17.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 77 deg. The sun  altitude  is -21.6 deg. 

MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 200903C errorbox  11113 sec after notice time and 11145 sec after trigger time at 2020-09-04 00:44:44 UT, with upper limit up to  16.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 51 deg. The sun  altitude  is -24.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -65 deg., longitude l = 117 deg.
