MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope [1] located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) was pointed to the EP260116a ( EP Team et al., GCN 43424) errorbox 16387 sec after notice time and 59243 sec after trigger time at 2026-01-16 16:36:14 UT, with upper limit up to 19.6 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 44 deg. The sun altitude is -58.9 deg.
The galactic latitude b = 13 deg., longitude l = 213 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
