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 GRB221202.84 (trigger No 1142997,05h 08m 22.80s , -59d 48m 21.6s, R=0.05) errorbox  25 sec after notice time and 64 sec after trigger time at 2022-12-02 20:07:14 UT, with upper limit up to  15.8 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 40 deg. The sun  altitude  is -26.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -36 deg., longitude l = 269 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
