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 250617B ( K. L. Page et al., GCN 40760) errorbox  30652 sec after notice time and 30775 sec after trigger time at 2025-06-18 05:34:46 UT, with upper limit up to  18.6 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 80 deg. The sun  altitude  is -74.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -19 deg., longitude l = 89 deg.
