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 GRB230101.09 (trigger No 694232203,13h 45m 12.00s , -21d 56m 24.0s, R=2.79) errorbox  33 sec after notice time and 72 sec after trigger time at 2023-01-01 02:17:51 UT, with upper limit up to  18.8 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 45 deg. The sun  altitude  is -14.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 39 deg., longitude l = 320 deg.
