MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  [1]  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) started inspect of the SVOM GRB260119.92 (trigger No 1768860172,08h 23m 32.59s , +57d 17m 44.5s, R=1) errorbox  708 sec after notice time and 838 sec after trigger time at 2026-01-19 22:16:50 UT, with upper limit up to  19.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 40 deg. The sun  altitude  is -25.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 35 deg., longitude l = 160 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
