MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 240318A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 35949) errorbox 45 sec after notice time and 77 sec after trigger time at 2024-03-18 02:52:19 UT, with upper limit up to 16.6 mag. Observations started at twilight. The observations began at zenith distance = 55 deg. The sun altitude is -11.1 deg.
MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 240318A errorbox 52 sec after notice time and 84 sec after trigger time at 2024-03-18 02:52:25 UT, with upper limit up to 17.6 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 47 deg. The sun altitude is -23.4 deg.
The galactic latitude b = 4 deg., longitude l = 25 deg.
