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:
