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 GRB240831.71 (trigger No 746816563,19h 07m 07.92s , +50d 15m 00.0s, R=29.85) errorbox  167 sec after notice time and 188 sec after trigger time at 2024-08-31 17:05:46 UT, with upper limit up to  15.7 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 77 deg. The sun  altitude  is -10.1 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 18 deg., longitude l = 81 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
