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) was pointed to the Swift GRB 201221A ( K. L. Page et al., GCN 29096) errorbox 76 sec after trigger time at 2020-12-21 07:10:17 UT, with upper limit up to  17.6 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 65 deg. The sun  altitude  is -23.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 14 deg., longitude l = 319 deg.
