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 IceCube Alert 201222.04 (trigger No 73718836,13h 46m 33.60s , +13d 28m 55.2s, R=0.51) errorbox  26456 sec after notice time and 26734 sec after trigger time at 2020-12-22 08:21:51 UT, with upper limit up to  17.7 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 71 deg. The sun  altitude  is -12.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 71 deg., longitude l = 350 deg.
