MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  [1]  located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 251202B ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 42961) errorbox  566 sec after notice time and 598 sec after trigger time at 2025-12-02 18:37:01 UT, with upper limit up to  19.2 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 24 deg. The sun  altitude  is -12.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -67 deg., longitude l = 38 deg.
