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 GRB251002.84 (trigger No 781128896,01h 12m 38.40s , -05d 24m 00.0s, R=5.51) errorbox  259 sec after notice time and 291 sec after trigger time at 2025-10-02 20:19:42 UT, with upper limit up to  18.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 50 deg. The sun  altitude  is -49.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -67 deg., longitude l = 138 deg.
