MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  [1]  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260604C ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 44822) errorbox  68 sec after notice time and 121 sec after trigger time at 2026-06-04 20:20:45 UT, with upper limit up to  19.9 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 13 deg. The sun  altitude  is -20.4 deg. 

MASTER-Kislovodsk robotic telescope  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, Kislovodsk Solar Station of Pulkovo observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260604C errorbox  2607 sec after notice time and 2660 sec after trigger time at 2026-06-04 21:03:04 UT, with upper limit up to  18.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 28 deg. The sun  altitude  is -23.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 65 deg., longitude l = 54 deg.
