MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) was pointed to the Swift GRB 251005A ( K. L. Page et al., GCN 42113) errorbox  21439 sec after notice time and 21469 sec after trigger time at 2025-10-05 22:04:43 UT, with upper limit up to  16.8 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 82 deg. The sun  altitude  is -52.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -14 deg., longitude l = 185 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
