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) was pointed to the Swift GRB 240809A ( P. A. Evans et al., GCN 37110Not found
 
 
) errorbox  32075 sec after notice time and 32089 sec after trigger time at 2024-08-09 17:25:19 UT, with upper limit up to  16.4 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 30 deg. The sun  altitude  is -16.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 37 deg., longitude l =  6 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
