N. Pankov (HSE, IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP), A. Moskvitin (SAO RAS) report on behalf of IKI-GRB-FuN:
We performed optical observations of the field of a fast X-Ray transient EP250302a (Dai et al., GCN 39556; Page et al., GCN 39557) in the R filter with the 1.5-meter telescope of Sayan Solar Observatory (Mondy). The observations began on 2025-03-03 (UT) 19:29:15, i.e. ~1.18 days since trigger. The optical source (Zhu et al., GCN 39550; Busmann et al., GCN 39551; Leonini et al., GCN 39553; Wu et al., GCN 39555; Xin et al., GCN 39558; Adami et al., GCN 39560; Yang et al., GCN 39561; Becerra et al., GCN 39562; Izzo et al., GCN 39564; Pankov et al., GCN 39565; Reguitti, GCN 39568; Komesh et al., GCN 39569; Shilling and Breeveld, GCN 39570; Aryan et al., GCN 39572; Moskvitin et. al, GCN 39576; Wu et. al, GCN 39578) is detected in the stacked image of 28*120 seconds. The preliminary photometry is as follows:
