MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 250816A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 41397) errorbox  16 sec after notice time and 43 sec after trigger time at 2025-08-16 01:30:54 UT, with upper limit up to  12.5 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 68 deg. The sun  altitude  is -8.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 50 deg., longitude l = 151 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
