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 241016B ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 37797) errorbox  41136 sec after notice time and 41168 sec after trigger time at 2024-10-16 22:38:48 UT, with upper limit up to  16.6 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 49 deg. The sun  altitude  is -48.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -59 deg., longitude l = 116 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
