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 S200302c errorbox  2 sec after notice time and 208 sec after trigger time at 2020-03-02 02:01:39 UT, with upper limit up to  17.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 71 deg. The sun  altitude  is -19.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -3 deg., longitude l = 317 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
