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 250702B ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 40883) errorbox  36852 sec after notice time and 36888 sec after trigger time at 2025-07-03 00:10:54 UT, with upper limit up to  18.6 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 28 deg. The sun  altitude  is -68.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -7 deg., longitude l = 27 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
