MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  [1]  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260207B ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 43629) errorbox  7553 sec after notice time and 7584 sec after trigger time at 2026-02-07 15:18:35 UT, with upper limit up to  13.0 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 74 deg. The sun  altitude  is -9.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 14 deg., longitude l = 82 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
