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 GRB250129.20 162 sec after notice time and 240 sec after trigger time at 2025-01-29 04:49:09 UT. On our second (60s exposure) set , obtained 296 sec after tigger time at 2025-01-29 04:50:05 UT, we found 1 optical transient within Swift error-box (ra=198.683 dec=5.03833 r=0.05) brighter than 18.3.
