MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  [1]  located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB260908.42 (trigger No 810554827,18h 50m 00.00s , -27d 54m 00.0s, R=28.3) errorbox  25158 sec after notice time and 25181 sec after trigger time at 2026-09-08 17:06:44 UT, with upper limit up to  18.2 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 12 deg. The sun  altitude  is -10.1 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -13 deg., longitude l =  8 deg.
