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 Fermi GRB210318.13 (trigger No 637729731,17h 16m 14.40s , -30d 17m 24.0s, R=9.71) errorbox  18422 sec after notice time and 65890 sec after trigger time at 2021-03-18 21:26:56 UT, with upper limit up to  14.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 83 deg. The sun  altitude  is -52.2 deg. 

The galactic latitude b =  4 deg., longitude l = 356 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
