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) was pointed to the Swift GRB 250821A ( S. Dichiara et al., GCN 41462) errorbox  41464 sec after notice time and 41495 sec after trigger time at 2025-08-21 22:17:52 UT, with upper limit up to  18.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 72 deg. The sun  altitude  is -33.2 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -78 deg., longitude l = 24 deg.
