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 Swift GRB 250516A ( A. P. Beardmore et al., GCN 40467) errorbox 54907 sec after notice time and 54930 sec after trigger time at 2025-05-17 05:50:59 UT, with upper limit up to 15.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 77 deg. The sun altitude is -68.5 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -50 deg., longitude l = 53 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
