MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) was pointed to the Swift GRB 240730A ( S. B. Cenko et al., GCN 36976) errorbox  37782 sec after notice time and 37859 sec after trigger time at 2024-07-30 18:23:05 UT, with upper limit up to  16.8 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 71 deg. The sun  altitude  is -11.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -1 deg., longitude l = 136 deg.
