MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope [1] located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260115A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 43417) errorbox 45 sec after notice time and 77 sec after trigger time at 2026-01-15 17:48:03 UT, with upper limit up to 18.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 59 deg. The sun altitude is -41.0 deg.
MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260115A errorbox 548 sec after notice time and 580 sec after trigger time at 2026-01-15 17:56:26 UT, with upper limit up to 19.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 49 deg. The sun altitude is -59.1 deg.
The galactic latitude b = 9 deg., longitude l = 214 deg.
