MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 251028B ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 42502) errorbox  19936 sec after notice time and 19967 sec after trigger time at 2025-10-28 13:20:54 UT, with upper limit up to  18.6 mag. The observations began at zenith distance =  6 deg. The sun  altitude  is -33.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -10 deg., longitude l = 99 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
