MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  [1]  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260412A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 44275) errorbox  62093 sec after notice time and 62124 sec after trigger time at 2026-04-12 23:29:10 UT, with upper limit up to  20.6 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 47 deg. The sun  altitude  is -16.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -41 deg., longitude l = 253 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
