MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) was pointed to the Swift GRB 240421B ( M. A. Williams et al., GCN 36208Not found
 
 
) errorbox  52346 sec after notice time and 52368 sec after trigger time at 2024-04-22 00:15:42 UT, with upper limit up to  16.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 70 deg. The sun  altitude  is -20.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -22 deg., longitude l = 27 deg.
