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 Fermi GRB 230117A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 33183) errorbox  14857 sec after notice time and 14892 sec after trigger time at 2023-01-17 09:12:16 UT, with upper limit up to  12.6 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 11 deg. The sun  altitude  is -11.4 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -24 deg., longitude l = 124 deg.
