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 GRB240904.73 (trigger No 747163821,14h 29m 21.60s , -64d 25m 12.0s, R=2) errorbox  39 sec after notice time and 70 sec after trigger time at 2024-09-04 17:31:27 UT, with upper limit up to  16.3 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 44 deg. The sun  altitude  is -15.1 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -4 deg., longitude l = 314 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
