Yu. V. Sotnikova (SAO RAS) report on behalf of a larger collaboration.
We observed the field of GRB 250309B / AT2025dws (Preis and Greiner,
GCN 39629; Fermi GBM team, GCN 39635; McDermott et al., GCN 39642;
Wang et al., GCN 39648; Page and Evans, GCN 39649; Kozyrev et al.,
GCN 39652; Frederiks et al., GCN 39655; Scotton, GCN 39657)
with Zeiss-1000 1-m telescope of SAO RAS, equipped
with the CCD-photometer. We obtained 19 x 300 sec. images in Rc band
on March 10, 21:37:13 -- 23:23:40 UT (t_mid - T0 = 1.6194 days).
The optical candidate ZTF25aaitvjt / AT2025dws (Stein et al.,
GCN 39639; Pérez-Fournon et al., GCN 39643; Stein and Ahumada,
GCN 39644; Moskvitin et al., GCN 39645; Perley et al., GCN 39646;
Malesani et al., GCN 39647; Ducoin et al., GCN 39650; Shin et al,
GCN 39654) is clearly detected in the stacked image
with the brightness of R = 20.65 +/- 0.13.
We do not performed host galaxy subtraction.
The photometry is based on nearby stars from the USNO-B1.0 catalog
(R2 magnitudes) and has not been corrected for the Galactic extinction.
