MASTER OT J111302.33+231508.0 discovery
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered GRB optical counterpart at (RA, Dec) = 11h 13m 02.33s +23d 15m 08.0s at 2022-03-10.05882 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude at first image is 15.6m (mlim=19.5).
There is no minor planet at this place.
We have reference image on 2018-05-15.77649 UT with unfiltered mlim=19.5m.
Spectral observations are required.
