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 GRB 240404A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 36020) errorbox  1191 sec after notice time and 1229 sec after trigger time at 2024-04-04 02:58:34 UT, with upper limit up to  18.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 10 deg. The sun  altitude  is -24.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b =  7 deg., longitude l = 357 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here: 
https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/observ.php?id=2414151

We obtain a following upper limits.
