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 GRB 230207A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 33294) errorbox  614 sec after notice time and 647 sec after trigger time at 2023-02-07 00:41:32 UT, with upper limit up to  18.8 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 52 deg. The sun  altitude  is -35.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 18 deg., longitude l = 339 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
