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) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 251013A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 42213) errorbox  544 sec after notice time and 582 sec after trigger time at 2025-10-13 08:13:47 UT, with upper limit up to  19.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 61 deg. The sun  altitude  is -22.2 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -63 deg., longitude l = 140 deg.
