MASTER-Amur robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Blagoveshchensk State Pedagogical University) started inspect of the IceCube Alert 220918.53 (trigger No 22012496,05h 02m 16.32s , +03d 27m 18.0s, R=1.13) errorbox  23230 sec after notice time and 23282 sec after trigger time at 2022-09-18 19:14:07 UT, with upper limit up to  18.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 50 deg. The sun  altitude  is -18.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -22 deg., longitude l = 197 deg.
