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) was pointed to the Swift GRB 221201A ( E. Troja et al., GCN 32998) errorbox  21718 sec after notice time and 21801 sec after trigger time at 2022-12-01 18:28:26 UT, with upper limit up to  16.2 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 64 deg. The sun  altitude  is -11.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -20 deg., longitude l = 325 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
