MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  [1]  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260307A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 43939) errorbox  52522 sec after notice time and 52542 sec after trigger time at 2026-03-08 02:03:41 UT, with upper limit up to  17.6 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 27 deg. The sun  altitude  is -17.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 75 deg., longitude l = 43 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
