automatically started LIGO/Virgo S190412m alert observations (Sjawhan et al. GCN 24098)

MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan 
National University) was pointed to the  LIGO/Virgo S190412m alert
  20 sec after notice time and 3839 sec after trigger time at 2019-04-12 06:34:43 UT.
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about  18.16mag on the first image.


  Reduction and observation will be continued.
