MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope [1] located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260513A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 44599) errorbox 9005 sec after notice time and 9068 sec after trigger time at 2026-05-13 23:55:26 UT, with upper limit up to 20.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 56 deg. The sun altitude is -67.4 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -46 deg., longitude l = 8 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
