MASTER-Amur robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Blagoveshchensk State Pedagogical University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB240308.27 (trigger No 731571927,05h 49m 38.40s , +64d 00m 36.0s, R=4.1) errorbox  13970 sec after notice time and 14002 sec after trigger time at 2024-03-08 10:18:44 UT, with upper limit up to  17.1 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 14 deg. The sun  altitude  is -9.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 18 deg., longitude l = 149 deg.
