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 EP250828a ( EP Team et al., GCN 41574) errorbox  75567 sec after notice time and 1 days 1111 sec after trigger time at 2025-08-29 07:51:04 UT, with upper limit up to  18.8 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 76 deg. The sun  altitude  is -39.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -26 deg., longitude l = 76 deg.
