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 240715A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 36866) errorbox  56006 sec after notice time and 56048 sec after trigger time at 2024-07-15 21:18:11 UT, with upper limit up to  15.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 77 deg. The sun  altitude  is -68.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -86 deg., longitude l =  1 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
