MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru,Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, v. 2010, 30L) located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) was pointed to the SVOM Alert 250419.10 (trigger No 1745029772,13h 29m 32.88s , +07d 05m 09.6s, R=0.1525, Wang et al. GCN 40168, Ocelotl López et al. GCN40169, Xin etl al. GCN40170) 3960 sec after trigger time at 2025-04-19 03:35:32 UT, with upper limit up to 19.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 39 deg. The sun altitude is -66.0 deg.
The galactic latitude b = 68 deg., longitude l = 330 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here: https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/observ.php?id=2847195
We obtained the following upper limits.
