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) was pointed to the Swift GRB 240419A ( M. H. Siegel et al., GCN 36169) errorbox  54337 sec after notice time and 54397 sec after trigger time at 2024-04-19 16:54:39 UT, with upper limit up to  17.8 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 25 deg. The sun  altitude  is -9.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -24 deg., longitude l = 253 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
