MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope [1] located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260208A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 43635) errorbox 829 sec after notice time and 866 sec after trigger time at 2026-02-08 05:21:55 UT, with upper limit up to 17.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 82 deg. The sun altitude is -43.2 deg.
The galactic latitude b = 78 deg., longitude l = 64 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
