MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S190814bv errorbox  92 sec after trigger time at 2019-08-15 21:40:44 UT, with upper limit up to  17.6 mag. The observations began at zenit distance = 78 deg. The sun  altitude  is -32.7 deg. 

MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S190814bv errorbox  174 sec after trigger time at 2019-08-15 21:42:06 UT, with upper limit up to  15.5 mag. The observations began at zenit distance = 64 deg. The sun  altitude  is -67.2 deg. 

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