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 GRB201021.85 (trigger No 1001130,00h 50m 12.00s , -55d 50m 20.4s, R=0.05) errorbox  73 sec after notice time and 295 sec after trigger time at 2020-10-21 20:32:14 UT, with upper limit up to  17.8 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 26 deg. The sun  altitude  is -39.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -62 deg., longitude l = 303 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
