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 
S191120aj errorbox  572 sec after notice time and 1096 sec after trigger 
time at 2019-11-20 16:41:50 UT, with upper limit up to  19.0 mag. The 
observations began at zenith distance = 73 deg. The sun  altitude  is 
-32.4 deg.

The galactic latitude b = 66 deg., longitude l = 45 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
