MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) was pointed to the GRB250424.29 99 sec after notice time and 178 sec after trigger time at 2025-04-24 06:55:26 UT. On our first (40s exposure) set we found 1 optical transient within Swift error-box (ra=217.512 dec=-35.0214 r=0.05) brighter than 18.9.
