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 GRB240731.60 (trigger No 744128417,00h 34m 36.00s , -46d 16m 12.0s, R=6.55) errorbox  15869 sec after notice time and 15891 sec after trigger time at 2024-07-31 18:45:04 UT, with upper limit up to  19.3 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 78 deg. The sun  altitude  is -34.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -71 deg., longitude l = 311 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
