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) was pointed to the IceCube Alert 230201.26 (trigger No 30799022,23h 04m 33.84s , +12d 02m 16.8s, R=0.51) errorbox  1 days 11538 sec after notice time and 1 days 11596 sec after trigger time at 2023-02-02 09:34:11 UT, with upper limit up to  16.5 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 59 deg. The sun  altitude  is -11.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -43 deg., longitude l = 87 deg.
