MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope [1] located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the SVOM GRB251220.98 (trigger No 1766273885,18h 57m 31.51s , +68d 19m 14.2s, R=1) errorbox 616 sec after notice time and 649 sec after trigger time at 2025-12-20 23:48:54 UT, with upper limit up to 18.2 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 67 deg. The sun altitude is -51.7 deg.
The galactic latitude b = 25 deg., longitude l = 99 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
