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) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 251016A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 42309) errorbox 9753 sec after notice time and 9784 sec after trigger time at 2025-10-16 17:42:24 UT, with upper limit up to 16.8 mag. Observations started at twilight. The observations began at zenith distance = 38 deg. The sun altitude is -11.4 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -12 deg., longitude l = 344 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here: https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/observ.php?id=3016116
We obtain a following upper limits.
