MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 201208A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 28998) errorbox  129 sec after notice time and 199 sec after trigger time at 2020-12-08 06:06:42 UT, with upper limit up to  18.3 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 47 deg. The sun  altitude  is -31.2 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 24 deg., longitude l = 269 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
