report:

The  25cm  robotic  telescope  FRAM-ORM at  La  Palma  (Spain)
reacted robotically  to the alert  of GRB201026A (Cenko  et al
GCNC  28784), obtaining  a series  of 20  s unfiltered  images
starting at 22:50:58.9 UT, i.e. 13.4 min post trigger.

We  do not  detect  any  new source  within  or  near the  XRT
errorbox  neither in  single  images  (3-sigma limit  R>~17.1,
(Vega), calibrated  by the  Atlas catalog)  nor in  a combined
15x20s frame  (mean exp time  21.15 min post  trigger, 3-sigma
limit R>~18.5) similarly to Lipunov  et al. (GCNC 28783), Izzo
et al. (GCNC 28785) and Zhu et al. (GCNC 28786)
