MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) started inspect of the Fermi GRB240515.60 (trigger No 737476171,02h 08m 36.00s , +42d 24m 00.0s, R=6.98) errorbox  13045 sec after notice time and 13080 sec after trigger time at 2024-05-15 18:07:26 UT, with upper limit up to  14.1 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 81 deg. The sun  altitude  is -10.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -18 deg., longitude l = 138 deg.
