MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  [1]  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 251211B ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 43072) errorbox  622 sec after notice time and 629 sec after trigger time at 2025-12-11 20:42:33 UT, with upper limit up to  17.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 72 deg. The sun  altitude  is -39.1 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 48 deg., longitude l = 279 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
