MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 230124A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 33215) errorbox  521 sec after notice time and 554 sec after trigger time at 2023-01-24 15:28:00 UT, with upper limit up to  19.0 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 51 deg. The sun  altitude  is -13.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -31 deg., longitude l = 197 deg.
