MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  [1]  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) was pointed to the Swift GRB 251214B ( R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN 43089) errorbox  4148 sec after notice time and 4708 sec after trigger time at 2025-12-14 10:20:46 UT, with upper limit up to  17.4 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 61 deg. The sun  altitude  is -11.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -46 deg., longitude l = 50 deg.
