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 Swift GRB240101.85 (trigger No 1205744,23h 28m 12.48s , +51d 38m 42.0s, R=0.05) errorbox  2999 sec after notice time and 3077 sec after trigger time at 2024-01-01 21:16:57 UT, with upper limit up to  16.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 63 deg. The sun  altitude  is -68.2 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -9 deg., longitude l = 110 deg.
