Sergienko (Blagoveschensk Educational State University) MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S190915ak errorbox 20 sec after notice time and 488 sec after trigger time at 2019-09-16 00:05:10 UT, with upper limit up to 18.0 mag. The observations began at zenit distance = 66 deg. The sun altitude is -28.9 deg. MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S190915ak errorbox 42 sec after notice time and 510 sec after trigger time at 2019-09-16 00:05:32 UT, with upper limit up to 17.9 mag. The observations began at zenit distance = 66 deg. The sun altitude is -32.6 deg. MASTER-IAC robotic telescope located in Spain (IAC Teide Observatory) started inspect of the LIGO/Virgo S190915ak errorbox 58 sec after notice time and 526 sec after trigger time at 2019-09-16 00:05:48 UT, with upper limit up to 15.4 mag. The observations began at zenit distance = 80 deg. The sun altitude is -56.6 deg. The galactic latitude b = -60 deg., longitude l = 98 deg. Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here: https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/ligo_1.php?id=10805 We obtain a following upper limits.
