A. S. Moskvitin and O. I. Spiridonova (SAO RAS), 
report on behalf of the GRB follow-up team.

We observed the field of Swift GRB 250101A (Page et al., GCN 38752) 
with the 1-m telescope of SAO RAS, Zeiss-1000 + CCD-photometer. 
On January 1, 16:18:20--16:51:10 UT (t_mid - T0 = 3.1986 hours)
we obtained first set of 6 x 300 sec. images in Rc band. 
At 18:43:29--18:59:33 UT (t_mid - T0 = 5.4781 hours) 
we obtained second set of data, 3 x 300 sec. images in Rc band.

The OT (Page et. al., GCN 38752; Li et al., GCN 38753; Mohan et al., 
GCN 38754; Zhu et al., GCN 38755, GCN 38759; Budnev et al., GCN 38756;
WU et al., GCN 38758) is clearly detected in our stacked frames 
with the brightness of R = 19.76 +/- 0.01 (t_mid - T0 = 3.1986 hours)
and R = 19.84 +/- 0.02 (5.4781 hours), calibrated against nearby PS1 
stars (magnitudes were converted with the Lupton 2005 equations 
and not corrected for the MW extinction).

Observations are ongoing.
