MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S191204r errorbox  401 sec after notice time and 3049 sec after trigger time at 2019-12-04 18:06:15 UT, with upper limit up to  19.2 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 50 deg. The sun  altitude  is -42.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -19 deg., longitude l = 252 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
