MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope [1] located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) was pointed to the EP Alert 261007.63 (trigger No 1709321008,23h 45m 23.76s , +11d 22m 08.4s, R=0.0509912) errorbox 27700 sec after notice time and 28718 sec after trigger time at 2026-10-07 23:03:54 UT, with upper limit up to 19.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 51 deg. The sun altitude is -50.8 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -48 deg., longitude l = 99 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
