MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  [1]  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB260120.48 (trigger No 790601190,02h 33m 50.40s , +52d 51m 00.0s, R=2.66) errorbox  18094 sec after notice time and 18127 sec after trigger time at 2026-01-20 16:28:32 UT, with upper limit up to  18.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 15 deg. The sun  altitude  is -25.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -7 deg., longitude l = 139 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
