MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) started inspect of the IceCube Alert 201114.63 (trigger No 40735501,07h 01m 00.00s , +06d 03m 00.0s, R=1.08) errorbox  28805 sec after notice time and 28895 sec after trigger time at 2020-11-14 23:07:07 UT, with upper limit up to  18.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 45 deg. The sun  altitude  is -57.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b =  5 deg., longitude l = 209 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
