MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) was pointed to the Swift GRB250925.71 (trigger No 1352124,22h 44m 48.24s , +46d 34m 26.4s, R=0.05) errorbox  16 sec after notice time and 59 sec after trigger time at 2025-09-25 17:05:26 UT, with upper limit up to  12.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 16 deg. The sun  altitude  is -40.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -11 deg., longitude l = 102 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
