MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope [1] located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) was pointed to the EP261007b ( EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta@bao.ac.cn> et al., GCN 45847) errorbox 13291 sec after notice time and 1 days 53720 sec after trigger time at 2026-10-11 19:38:56 UT, with upper limit up to 19.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 47 deg. The sun altitude is -34.6 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -48 deg., longitude l = 99 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
