MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  [1]  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260314A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 43997) errorbox 83 sec after trigger time at 2026-03-14 01:00:13 UT, with upper limit up to  18.8 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 28 deg. The sun  altitude  is -26.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 34 deg., longitude l = 92 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
