MASTER-Kislovodsk  robotic telescope of MASTER Global Robotic Net (Lipunov et al. [1-4], http://observ.pereplet.ru ),
started Swift GRB 251205A (Lanava et al GCN 43005)
error-box observations in alert mode (PP filters) 19s after notice time at at 2025-12-05 23:41:19 UT, Lipunov et al. GCN 43004

MASTER auto-detection system found optical counterpart
MASTER OT J132105.37+295545.8 , first publishied by Swift (GCN 43005)
 with unfiltered m_OT~18.1m
We have also prompt wide-field cameras images, the reduction will be later.

There is host(possible) galaxy in 4.36" from GRB counterpart with z_phot=0.25470(Cavuoti et al. 2014)


Real time updated cover map and OT  position are available here:

Observation and reduction will continue.
