MASTER-Amur robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Blagoveshchensk State Pedagogical University) was pointed to the IceCube Alert 240721.68 (trigger No 30853199,23h 39m 46.30s , +22d 32m 05.6s, R=0.551) errorbox  17 sec after notice time and 68 sec after trigger time at 2024-07-21 16:18:34 UT, with upper limit up to  15.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 44 deg. The sun  altitude  is -19.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -37 deg., longitude l = 103 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
