MASTER-OAGH robotic telescope [1] located in Mexico (OAGH National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260516B ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 44636) errorbox 25 sec after notice time and 66 sec after trigger time at 2026-05-16 05:13:43 UT, with upper limit up to 20.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 33 deg. The sun altitude is -31.9 deg.
The galactic latitude b = 62 deg., longitude l = 185 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
