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 GRB 220408B ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 31854) errorbox  38858 sec after notice time and 38887 sec after trigger time at 2022-04-08 18:16:12 UT, with upper limit up to  17.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 33 deg. The sun  altitude  is -24.1 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -25 deg., longitude l = 259 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
