MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  [1]  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) was pointed to the EP251222a ( EP Team et al., GCN 43200) errorbox  25213 sec after notice time and 69548 sec after trigger time at 2025-12-23 10:37:14 UT, with upper limit up to  16.4 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 78 deg. The sun  altitude  is -13.8 deg. 

MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) was pointed to the EP251222a errorbox  39747 sec after notice time and 84082 sec after trigger time at 2025-12-23 14:39:28 UT, with upper limit up to  16.9 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 75 deg. The sun  altitude  is -10.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -35 deg., longitude l = 194 deg.
