MASTER-Amur robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Blagoveshchensk State Pedagogical University) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S200225q errorbox  15719 sec after trigger time at 2020-02-25 10:26:20 UT, with upper limit up to  18.4 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 19 deg. The sun  altitude  is -13.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 25 deg., longitude l = 169 deg.
