MASTER-OAGH robotic telescope of MASTER Global Robotic Net [1-4]
started SVOM GRB 260302A (Tan et al. GCN 44181, Gotz et al. GCN 44182 Ttrigger=2026-04-02 10:30:17UT)
at 2026-04-02 10:55:46UT (25min after trigger time) with m_lim=19.1m(unfiltered) at 1st image. We didn't find new object inside error-box at single images.Observations and reduction will be continued.
Error-box altitude was 34deg, the sun_alt=-28deg, the FULL moon (0.99) alt=27deg (in 75 deg from erro-box) Cover map is available here
