MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  [1]  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) was pointed to the SVOM GRB260915.05 (trigger No 1789434713,00h 32m 31.08s , +08d 14m 32.6s, R=0.093) errorbox  17685 sec after notice time and 17784 sec after trigger time at 2026-09-15 06:08:17 UT, with upper limit up to  20.2 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 41 deg. The sun  altitude  is -53.4 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -54 deg., longitude l = 116 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
