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 240805A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 37031) errorbox  53052 sec after notice time and 53084 sec after trigger time at 2024-08-05 16:47:04 UT, with upper limit up to  18.5 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 33 deg. The sun  altitude  is -9.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 10 deg., longitude l = 303 deg.
