Report:
We observed the field of GRB 250129A (Swift trigger=1285812, Page et al., GCN 39066) with the 11 inches Schmidt-Cassegrain (Celestron 11) telescope F/D=6,3.
The observations were started at 2025-01-31 01:00 UT (approximately 44.25 hours after burst) stacking a set of unfiltered CCD image. The observations were carried out with clear skies and fair visibility conditions.
The OT was detected at the following position:
RA (J2000.0) 13h 14m 42.38s
Decl. (J2000.0) +05° 01' 50.8"
Photometry was obtained using nearby PanSTARRS stars as follows:
Observation Mid-Time T-T0 (hr) Exposure Filter Mag. Err.
2025-01-31 02:34:24 UT 45.82 105x60s CR 20.14 +/-0.30
Magnitude was calibrated with the nearby PanSTARRS stars converted using Lupton (2005) equations.
No correction for galactic dust extinction was applied.
Our observations are consistent with other already reported Lipunov et al. (GCN 39070), Gompertz et al. (GCN 39072), Malesani et al. (GCN 39073), Izzo et al. (GCN 39074), Lipunov et al.
