MASTER-OAGH robotic telescope  [1]  located in Mexico (OAGH National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics) was pointed to the EP260603a ( EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta@bao.ac.cn> et al., GCN 44814) errorbox  436 sec after notice time and 43770 sec after trigger time at 2026-06-04 06:00:42 UT, with upper limit up to  17.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 58 deg. The sun  altitude  is -33.4 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 25 deg., longitude l = 340 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
