We observed the field of GRB 241026A (The Fermi GBM team, GCN 37894;
Melandri et al., GCN 37896, Li et al., GCN 37909; Zhang et al.,
GCN 37921; Zhang, Xiong and Wang GCN 37924; Pal et al., GCN 37929)
with the 1-m telescope of SAO RAS, Zeiss-1000/CCD-photometer
in Rc band on October 28/29 and 29/30 nights.

The OT (Moskvitin et al., GCNs 37899, 37916; Watson et al., GCN 37900;
Zheng & Filippenko GCN 37903; Shrestha et al., GCN 37913; Mo et al.,

but marginally detected in the October 29 stacked frame.
Preliminary results are as follows.

date   UT_start--UT_end    t_mid-T0  exp, s  R magnitude      R_lim
28/29  21:30:53--01:10:41  2.02657   500     n/d              21.6
