MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  [1]  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260413A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 44289) errorbox  36329 sec after notice time and 36340 sec after trigger time at 2026-04-13 23:49:17 UT, with upper limit up to  20.7 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 45 deg. The sun  altitude  is -20.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -31 deg., longitude l = 273 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
