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 241209E ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 38495) errorbox  142 sec after notice time and 177 sec after trigger time at 2024-12-09 18:29:40 UT, with upper limit up to  18.6 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 47 deg. The sun  altitude  is -10.4 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -37 deg., longitude l = 177 deg.
