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) was pointed to the Swift GRB 210901A ( S. Laha et al., GCN 30746) errorbox 6860 sec after notice time and 6950 sec after trigger time at 2021-09-01 17:00:26 UT, with upper limit up to 18.6 mag. Observations started at twilight. The observations began at zenith distance = 49 deg. The sun altitude is -8.9 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -30 deg., longitude l = 318 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here: https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/observ.php?id=1706835
We obtain a following upper limits.
