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 240718A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 36898) errorbox  42681 sec after notice time and 42709 sec after trigger time at 2024-07-18 18:20:49 UT, with upper limit up to  15.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 19 deg. The sun  altitude  is -30.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 10 deg., longitude l = 355 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
