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 GRB250718.01 (trigger No 1334535,16h 07m 59.47s , -11d 59m 35.9s, R=0.05) errorbox  16 sec after notice time and 35 sec after trigger time at 2025-07-18 00:14:38 UT, with upper limit up to  19.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 22 deg. The sun  altitude  is -30.2 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 28 deg., longitude l =  1 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
