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) started inspect of the Fermi GRB231224.87 (trigger No 725143760,06h 49m 09.60s , -71d 10m 12.0s, R=11.88) errorbox  348 sec after notice time and 390 sec after trigger time at 2023-12-24 20:55:46 UT, with upper limit up to  19.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 36 deg. The sun  altitude  is -29.4 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -26 deg., longitude l = 282 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
