MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  [1]  located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) was pointed to the EP261105a ( EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta@bao.ac.cn> et al., GCN 46155) errorbox  38697 sec after notice time and 46304 sec after trigger time at 2026-11-05 22:59:38 UT, with upper limit up to  19.5 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 36 deg. The sun  altitude  is -40.8 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -28 deg., longitude l = 262 deg.


Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here:
