MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 200718A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 28140) errorbox  24097 sec after notice time and 24129 sec after trigger time at 2020-07-18 21:33:02 UT, with upper limit up to  20.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 32 deg. The sun  altitude  is -70.4 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 10 deg., longitude l = 26 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
