Observations started at twilight. The observations began at zenith distance = 28 deg. The sun altitude is -14.4 deg. MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) was pointed to the EP251220a errorbox 70921 sec after trigger time at 2025-12-21 04:08:44 UT, with upper limit up to 16.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 81 deg. The sun altitude is -35.3 deg. The galactic latitude b = -43 deg., longitude l = 130 deg. Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here: https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/observ.php?id=3079135 We obtain a following upper limits.
