MASTER-SAAO  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in SAAO was starting second survey on the MAXI  GRB180722A 
error-box 
(ra=20 11 34 dec=+24 13 15 r=1)  61549 sec after notice time and 65839 sec 
after trigger time at 2018-07-23 00:16:35 UT (Shimomukai et al., 
MAXI/GSC detection, GCN #23005; Lipunov et al., GCN #23006). The 5-sigma 
upper limit on our first (180s exposure)  set is about 19.0  mag

This error-box was observed by MASTER-Amur ( 2018-07-23 
12:53:17-14:00:20UT, 60s, mlim=17.8) and another MASTER sites.

The coverage  map of the 3 sigms error box is available at

The observations made on zenit distance = 61 degrees, galaxy latitude b = 
-6 degree.
The moon (80 % bright part) is 17 degrees above the horizon. The distance 
between  moon and  object is 69
The sun  altitude  is -65.7 degree.
The object can be observed till 2018-07-23 03:41:44
