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 IceCube Alert 240204.38 (trigger No 62272876,23h 14m 35.52s , +11d 03m 32.4s, R=0.51) errorbox  6920 sec after notice time and 6988 sec after trigger time at 2024-02-04 11:05:28 UT, with upper limit up to  18.9 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 60 deg. The sun  altitude  is -10.4 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -45 deg., longitude l = 89 deg.
