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 240727A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 36958) errorbox  1 days 9913 sec after notice time and 1 days 9945 sec after trigger time at 2024-07-29 02:37:31 UT, with upper limit up to  16.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 79 deg. The sun  altitude  is -36.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -5 deg., longitude l = 248 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
