MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  [1]  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) was pointed to the EP260927a ( EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta@bao.ac.cn> et al., GCN 45779) errorbox  174 sec after notice time and 1 days 50700 sec after trigger time at 2026-09-29 04:07:35 UT, with upper limit up to  19.3 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 27 deg. The sun  altitude  is -55.7 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -73 deg., longitude l = 217 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
