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 GRB210222.94 (trigger No 1034325,10h 18m 29.04s , -14d 53m 52.8s, R=0.05) errorbox  235 sec after notice time and 276 sec after trigger time at 2021-02-22 22:42:03 UT, with upper limit up to  17.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 17 deg. The sun  altitude  is -48.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 34 deg., longitude l = 258 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
