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 GRB230206.80 (trigger No 697403223,04h 30m 48.00s , +42d 22m 12.0s, R=9.46) errorbox  5131 sec after notice time and 5165 sec after trigger time at 2023-02-06 20:33:03 UT, with upper limit up to  17.2 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 81 deg. The sun  altitude  is -31.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -4 deg., longitude l = 161 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
