MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) was pointed to the Swift GRB230824.58 (trigger No 1186959,17h 27m 45.84s , -16d 12m 54.0s, R=0.05) errorbox  72 sec after notice time and 188 sec after trigger time at 2023-08-24 14:02:52 UT, with upper limit up to  16.6 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 71 deg. The sun  altitude  is -15.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 10 deg., longitude l =  9 deg.
