Kotze South African Astronomical Observatory MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) was pointed to the GRB201223.75 35 sec after notice time and 51 sec after trigger time at 2020-12-23 17:59:18 UT. On our first (180s exposure) set we found 1 optical transient within Swift error-box (ra=132.846 dec=71.1739 r=0.05) brighter than 18.1. T-Tmid Date Time Expt.
