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 240824C ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 37264) errorbox  6917 sec after notice time and 6925 sec after trigger time at 2024-08-24 17:17:41 UT, with upper limit up to  17.7 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 81 deg. The sun  altitude  is -13.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 22 deg., longitude l = 266 deg.
