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 250702C ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 40885) errorbox  23400 sec after notice time and 23443 sec after trigger time at 2025-07-02 21:20:15 UT, with upper limit up to  18.3 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 34 deg. The sun  altitude  is -69.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 11 deg., longitude l = 29 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
