MASTER Global Robotic Net ( http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010,Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)
observed IceCube-190730A (Stein et al. GCN 25225) in alert mode.

MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU,SAI Crimea astronomical station)
was pointed to the IceCube Alert 190730.87 ( 15h  7m 19.25s , +10d 30m 28.08s, R=0.7552)
errorbox  28 sec after notice time (62 sec after trigger time)
at 2019-07-30 20:51:43 UT, with upper limit 18 mag.
The observations began when error-box altitute = 22 deg, the sun  altitude  was -26.1 deg.

MASTER-IAC robotic telescope  located in Spain (IAC Teide Observatory, Canarias) was 
pointed to the IceCube Alert 190730.87 errorbox  56 sec after notice time (89 sec after trigger time)
  at 2019-07-30 20:52:11 UT, with upper limit up to 20 mag.
Observations started at twilight, began when error-box altitude = 65 deg, the sun  altitude  was -12.4 deg.

The error-box galactic latitude b = -60 deg., longitude l = 98 deg.
