The observations began at zenith distance = 76 deg. The sun altitude is -22.8 deg. MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) was pointed to the EP260221a errorbox 53402 sec after notice time and 60136 sec after trigger time at 2026-02-22 04:25:30 UT, with upper limit up to 20.7 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 27 deg. The sun altitude is -48.3 deg. The galactic latitude b = 40 deg., longitude l = 286 deg. Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here: https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/observ.php?id=3149283 We obtain a following upper limits.
