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 GRB 240112D ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 35527) errorbox  42 sec after notice time and 78 sec after trigger time at 2024-01-12 21:57:23 UT, with upper limit up to  19.8 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 52 deg. The sun  altitude  is -35.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -20 deg., longitude l = 295 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
