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 220417A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 31912) errorbox  10933 sec after notice time and 10962 sec after trigger time at 2022-04-17 16:55:18 UT, with upper limit up to  18.2 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 43 deg. The sun  altitude  is -9.1 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 10 deg., longitude l = 205 deg.
