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 250223A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 39430) errorbox  6037 sec after notice time and 6071 sec after trigger time at 2025-02-23 18:17:23 UT, with upper limit up to  17.8 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 81 deg. The sun  altitude  is -12.4 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -61 deg., longitude l = 358 deg.
