MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)
located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University)
was pointed to the MAXI GRB241207C error-box (trigger No 2412072220, GCN #38462, notice time 2024-12-08T00:13:03UT ) 8462 sec after trigger time at 2024-12-08 00:41:09 UT,with upper limit up to  18.6 mag. Observations started at twilight.

 The observations began at zenith distance = 61 deg. The sun  altitude  is -13.9 deg. Distance to Moon is 34deg., distance to Sun is 47deg.
The galactic latitude b = -31 deg., longitude l = 21 deg.
