MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  [1]  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB260419.30 (trigger No 798275385,20h 50m 14.40s , -47d 41m 24.0s, R=4.3) errorbox  42 sec after notice time and 75 sec after trigger time at 2026-04-19 07:10:56 UT, with upper limit up to  19.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 52 deg. The sun  altitude  is -48.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -40 deg., longitude l = 352 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
