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) was pointed to the Swift GRB 230322B ( S. B. Cenko et al., GCN 33505) errorbox 22856 sec after notice time and 22880 sec after trigger time at 2023-03-23 03:31:58 UT, with upper limit up to 15.7 mag. Observations started at twilight. The observations began at zenith distance = 85 deg. The sun altitude is -15.9 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -69 deg., longitude l = 295 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:

We obtain a following upper limits.
Tmid-T0 | Site |Filt.| Expt. | Limit| Comment
_________|_____________________|_____|_______|______|________
22970 | MASTER-SAAO | C | 180 | 15.7 |
Filter C is a clear (unfiltred) band.
The observation and reduction will continue.
