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 250926A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 41993) errorbox  71 sec after notice time and 114 sec after trigger time at 2025-09-26 00:23:18 UT, with upper limit up to  19.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 53 deg. The sun  altitude  is -47.4 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -20 deg., longitude l = 210 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
