MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 220418A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 31914) errorbox  7665 sec after notice time and 7697 sec after trigger time at 2022-04-18 18:00:16 UT, with upper limit up to  13.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 75 deg. The sun  altitude  is -20.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b =  4 deg., longitude l = 106 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
