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 IceCube Alert 200420.97 (trigger No 200410,16h 10m 19.20s , +11d 36m 36.0s, R=14.05) errorbox  9 days 14340 sec after notice time and 4703 sec after trigger time at 2020-04-21 00:38:18 UT, with upper limit up to  20.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 44 deg. The sun  altitude  is -55.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 40 deg., longitude l = 25 deg.
