MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  [1]  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260928A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 45772) errorbox  6239 sec after notice time and 6279 sec after trigger time at 2026-09-28 02:15:56 UT, with upper limit up to  17.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 52 deg. The sun  altitude  is -44.3 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -4 deg., longitude l = 44 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
