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 IceCube Alert 251014.77 (trigger No 75492250,00h 11m 35.28s , +02d 54m 43.2s, R=0.51) errorbox 1 days 12049 sec after notice time and 1 days 12105 sec after trigger time at 2025-10-15 21:54:57 UT, with upper limit up to 19.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 36 deg. The sun altitude is -48.7 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -58 deg., longitude l = 105 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
