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) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 240804A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 37028) errorbox  6897 sec after notice time and 6928 sec after trigger time at 2024-08-04 21:01:30 UT, with upper limit up to  18.8 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 28 deg. The sun  altitude  is -28.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 31 deg., longitude l = 88 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
