MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) was pointed to the EP250220a ( EP Team et al., GCN 39387) errorbox  228 sec after notice time and 49332 sec after trigger time at 2025-02-20 15:54:11 UT, with upper limit up to  12.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 17 deg. The sun  altitude  is -46.1 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 25 deg., longitude l = 179 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
