MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  [1]  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) was pointed to the SVOM GRB251222.71 (trigger No 1766423142,05h 08m 53.93s , -07d 11m 56.4s, R=0.0699) errorbox  607 sec after notice time and 841 sec after trigger time at 2025-12-22 17:19:43 UT, with upper limit up to  16.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 60 deg. The sun  altitude  is -62.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -25 deg., longitude l = 208 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
