MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 210826A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 30716) errorbox 36801 sec after notice time and 36879 sec after trigger time at 2021-08-26 17:16:24 UT, with upper limit up to 17.8 mag. Observations started at twilight. The observations began at zenith distance = 71 deg. The sun altitude is -13.0 deg.
The galactic latitude b = -35 deg., longitude l = 291 deg.
Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here: https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/observ.php?id=1700544
We obtain a following upper limits.
