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 GRB240320.83 (trigger No 732657380,18h 20m 40.80s , -34d 13m 12.0s, R=3.14) errorbox 9088 sec after trigger time at 2024-03-20 22:27:43 UT, with upper limit up to  17.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 78 deg. The sun  altitude  is -57.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -10 deg., longitude l = 359 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
