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 Swift GRB240725.11 (trigger No 1244778,19h 56m 12.96s , -64d 40m 00.1s, R=0.05) errorbox  337 sec after notice time and 359 sec after trigger time at 2024-07-25 02:43:35 UT, with upper limit up to  18.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 51 deg. The sun  altitude  is -35.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -32 deg., longitude l = 332 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
