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 250217C ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 39357) errorbox  588 sec after notice time and 626 sec after trigger time at 2025-02-18 00:05:08 UT, with upper limit up to  18.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 74 deg. The sun  altitude  is -42.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 38 deg., longitude l = 191 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
