MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  [1]  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260512A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 44587) errorbox  1 days 24421 sec after notice time and 1 days 24449 sec after trigger time at 2026-05-13 23:44:12 UT, with upper limit up to  19.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 51 deg. The sun  altitude  is -24.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -22 deg., longitude l = 298 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
