MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) was pointed to the IceCube Alert 200425.98 (trigger No 16038252,06h 42m 20.64s , +52d 38m 52.8s, R=0.95) errorbox  12 sec after notice time and 1171 sec after trigger time at 2020-04-25 23:46:17 UT, with upper limit up to  18.3 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 81 deg. The sun  altitude  is -23.0 deg. 

MASTER-IAC robotic telescope  located in Spain (IAC Teide Observatory) was pointed to the IceCube Alert 200425.98 errorbox  26 sec after notice time and 1185 sec after trigger time at 2020-04-25 23:46:32 UT, with upper limit up to  18.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 71 deg. The sun  altitude  is -44.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 20 deg., longitude l = 163 deg.
