MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) was pointed to the EP250831a ( EP Team et al., GCN 41619) errorbox 21491 sec after notice time and 40170 sec after trigger time at 2025-08-31 20:58:42 UT, with upper limit up to 18.8 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 70 deg. The sun altitude is -56.9 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -63 deg., longitude l = 239 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here: https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/observ.php?id=2980777
We obtain a following upper limits.
Tmid-T0 | Date Time | Site | Coord (J2000) |Filt.| Expt. | Limit| Comment _________|_____________________|_____________________|____________________________________|_____|_______|_______|________
40201 | 2025-08-31 20:58:42 | MASTER-SAAO | (02h 50m 10.03s , -36d 31m 25.6s) | C | 60 | 18.8 | 40201 | 2025-08-31 20:58:42 | MASTER-SAAO | (02h 48m 03.66s , -36d 15m 35.6s) | C | 60 | 18.8 | Filter C is a clear (unfiltred) band.
The observation and reduction will continue. The message may be cited.
