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 240913A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 37481) errorbox  587 sec after notice time and 593 sec after trigger time at 2024-09-13 03:31:35 UT, with upper limit up to  19.0 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 46 deg. The sun  altitude  is -15.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -21 deg., longitude l = 183 deg.
