MASTER-OAGH robotic telescope  [1]  located in Mexico (OAGH National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics) was pointed to the SVOM GRB260603.23 (trigger No 1780465035,15h 32m 48.05s , +40d 06m 06.5s, R=0.1222) errorbox  6 sec after notice time and 1357 sec after trigger time at 2026-06-03 05:59:52 UT, with upper limit up to  17.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance =  9 deg. The sun  altitude  is -33.5 deg. 

MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) was pointed to the SVOM GRB260603.23 errorbox  241 sec after notice time and 1593 sec after trigger time at 2026-06-03 06:03:48 UT, with upper limit up to  16.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 81 deg. The sun  altitude  is -67.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 54 deg., longitude l = 64 deg.
