MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) was pointed to the Swift GRB 250904A ( C. Salvaggio et al., GCN 41704) errorbox  19454 sec after notice time and 19494 sec after trigger time at 2025-09-04 23:01:57 UT, with upper limit up to  15.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 81 deg. The sun  altitude  is -35.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -14 deg., longitude l = 201 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
