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 240227A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 35814) errorbox  48100 sec after notice time and 48133 sec after trigger time at 2024-02-27 18:02:28 UT, with upper limit up to  18.0 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 32 deg. The sun  altitude  is -10.2 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -39 deg., longitude l = 271 deg.
