MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope [1] located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 251202A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 42933) errorbox 570 sec after notice time and 604 sec after trigger time at 2025-12-02 02:00:56 UT, with upper limit up to 18.8 mag. Observations started at twilight. The observations began at zenith distance = 76 deg. The sun altitude is -15.8 deg.
The galactic latitude b = 31 deg., longitude l = 177 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
