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) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 251013B ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 42215) errorbox  48818 sec after notice time and 48841 sec after trigger time at 2025-10-13 21:58:28 UT, with upper limit up to  19.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 41 deg. The sun  altitude  is -49.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -52 deg., longitude l = 97 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
