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 GRB240403.15 (trigger No 733808041,15h 03m 19.20s , +39d 09m 36.0s, R=5.79) errorbox 5 sec after trigger time at 2024-04-03 03:34:02 UT, with upper limit up to  17.8 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 79 deg. The sun  altitude  is -17.2 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 60 deg., longitude l = 65 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
