MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  [1]  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) started inspect of the Fermi GRB260916.63 (trigger No 811264269,23h 06m 31.20s , -26d 48m 36.0s, R=8.03) errorbox  16584 sec after notice time and 16611 sec after trigger time at 2026-09-16 19:47:55 UT, with upper limit up to  18.1 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 75 deg. The sun  altitude  is -36.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -67 deg., longitude l = 29 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
