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 240730B ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 36984) errorbox  576 sec after notice time and 588 sec after trigger time at 2024-07-30 19:48:06 UT, with upper limit up to  19.2 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 82 deg. The sun  altitude  is -48.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 80 deg., longitude l = 10 deg.
