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 GRB240829.16 (trigger No 1251252,09h 32m 14.16s , -18d 43m 40.8s, R=0.05) errorbox  24 sec after notice time and 46 sec after trigger time at 2024-08-29 03:57:14 UT, with upper limit up to  15.6 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 76 deg. The sun  altitude  is -13.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 24 deg., longitude l = 251 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
