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 240608A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 36644) errorbox  48797 sec after notice time and 48830 sec after trigger time at 2024-06-08 16:34:56 UT, with upper limit up to  16.6 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 74 deg. The sun  altitude  is -11.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 49 deg., longitude l = 185 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
