MASTER Global robotic net (http://observ.pereplet.ru Lipunov et al.,2010,Advances in Astronomy,2010,30L)
started  LXT 240402A (Xu et al. GCN 36016, Triggertime=2024-04-02 08:47:41UT, Notice=24/04/03 16:20:48;
Center R.A.,Dec. = 245.438 +25.800 +-1.5 arcmin; also detected by GECAM-C (GCN 36017 Wang-Chen Xue et al.))
observation at 2024-04-03 02:48:45 (optical observations also started by GWAC-F50A (Xin et al. GCN 36018))

MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  located in South Africa was pointed to errorbox
64864 sec after trigger time at 2024-04-03 02:48:45 UT (by own observational program), with upper limit up to  19.3 mag.
The observations began at zenith distance = 60 deg. The sun  altitude  is -26.7 deg.

MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope (Russia, Baikal)  was pointed  1 days 28326 sec after trigger time at 2024-04-03 16:39:47 UT, with upper limit up to  20.0 mag.
The observations began at zenith distance = 52 deg. The sun  altitude  is -33.1 deg.

MASTER-Amur robotic telescope  (Russia, Blagoveschensk) was pointed 1 days 28367 sec after trigger time at
2024-04-03 16:40:28 UT, with upper limit up to  19.0 mag.
The observations began at zenith distance = 37 deg. The sun  altitude  is -32.6 deg.

The analysis of LERG AGN (Comerford et al. 2020), locate in 75" frin the errir-box center) light curve in MASTER database will be continued.

The galactic latitude b = 43 deg., longitude l = 44 deg.

Real time updated cover map and possibly OT, that can be discovered, will be  available here:
https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/observ.php?id=2413927

We obtain the following upper limits.
