MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope (MASTER Global Robotic Net http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al. 2010, Advances in Astronomy, v.2010, 30L)
located in South African Astronomical Observatory,
pointed (Lipunov et al. GCN 40893) to Fermi (GCN 40892) and Swift GRB 250702F (Klingler et al., GCN 40894, Ttrigger=21:06:43.27UT)
in two polarization filters at 2025-07-02 21:24:39 UT ( https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/observ.php?id=2923573 ).
There is MASTER OT J141144.70+164454.6 with m_OT~16.2 with preliminary significant polarization.
This GRB 250702F counterpartwas discovered by Swift (GCN 40894) and also reported by Ondrejov D50 (Jelinek et al., GCN 20895)
and GOTO (Kumar et al. GCN 40896) observatories.
Observation and reduction will be continued.
