MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  [1]  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260529A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 44733) errorbox  564 sec after notice time and 606 sec after trigger time at 2026-05-29 03:00:04 UT, with upper limit up to  17.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 74 deg. The sun  altitude  is -66.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -25 deg., longitude l = 28 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
