MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope [1] located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) was pointed to the EP260430a ( EP Team et al., GCN 44427) errorbox 320 sec after trigger time at 2026-04-30 02:38:07 UT, with upper limit up to 19.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 23 deg. The sun altitude is -59.3 deg.
The galactic latitude b = 50 deg., longitude l = 281 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
