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 GRB240123.46 (trigger No 1210276,13h 17m 16.56s , +60d 37m 55.2s, R=0.05) errorbox  41 sec after notice time and 121 sec after trigger time at 2024-01-23 11:07:48 UT, with upper limit up to  17.6 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 68 deg. The sun  altitude  is -13.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 56 deg., longitude l = 117 deg.
