MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 250523A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 40538) errorbox  21017 sec after notice time and 21056 sec after trigger time at 2025-05-23 20:17:20 UT, with upper limit up to  17.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 81 deg. The sun  altitude  is -25.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -0 deg., longitude l = 145 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
