We performed optical observations of the field of GRB 250129A (Beardmore et. al, GCN 39066; Lipunov et. al, GCN 39070; Schneider et. al, GCN 39071; Belkin et. al, GCN 39072; Izzo et. al, GCN 39073; Izzo et. al, GCN 39074; Ghosh et. al, GCN 39077; Schneider et. al, GCN 39078; Brivio et. al, GCN 39079; Goad et. al, GCN 39082; Siegel, GCN 39085; Osborne et. al, GCN 39089; Zheng et. al, GCN 39090; Schlekat et. al, GCN 39091; Antier et. al, GCN 39096; Odeh et. al, GCN 39097; Ferro et. al, GCN 39098; Malesani et. al, GCN 39100; Romanov, GCN 39101; Zheng et. al, GCN 39102; Watson et. al, GCN 39104; Watson et. al, GCN 39105; Akl et. al, GCN 39106; Moskvitin et. al, GCN 39107; Calapai et. al, GCN 39109; Schlekat et. al, GCN 39110; Gompertz et. al, GCN 39114; Ror et. al, GCN 39115; Frederiks et. al, GCN 39116; Wu et. al, GCN 39124; Paek et. al, GCN 39129) in the R filter with the 1.5-meter AZT-33IK telescope of the Sayan Solar Observatory (Mondy) and the 0.7-meter AS-32 telescope of the Abastumani Observatory (AbAO). The observations began on 2025-01-30 at 22:16:50 UT, i.e. ~1.76 days since trigger. The optical counterpart is well detected in the stacked images from both observatories. The preliminary photometry is as follows:
