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 GRB240804.43 (trigger No 744459130,05h 39m 36.00s , -64d 12m 36.0s, R=1.49) errorbox  24113 sec after notice time and 24146 sec after trigger time at 2024-08-04 16:54:32 UT, with upper limit up to  16.2 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 80 deg. The sun  altitude  is -11.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -32 deg., longitude l = 274 deg.
