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 EP241115a ( EP Team et al., GCN 38239) errorbox  8625 sec after notice time and 45587 sec after trigger time at 2024-11-15 18:27:07 UT, with upper limit up to  18.6 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 28 deg. The sun  altitude  is -14.1 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -78 deg., longitude l = 159 deg.
