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 GRB 250331C ( S. B. Cenko et al., GCN 39959) errorbox  48174 sec after notice time and 48531 sec after trigger time at 2025-03-31 18:06:32 UT, with upper limit up to  18.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 75 deg. The sun  altitude  is -20.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -1 deg., longitude l = 174 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
