MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope [1] located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB260329.58 (trigger No 796485221,19h 47m 48.00s , -55d 55m 12.0s, R=7.59) errorbox 33703 sec after notice time and 33736 sec after trigger time at 2026-03-29 23:15:52 UT, with upper limit up to 18.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 69 deg. The sun altitude is -60.5 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -30 deg., longitude l = 342 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
