We performed optical observations of the field of EP250321a (Hu et. al, GCN 39800; Page et. al, GCN 39811, Hu et. al, GCN 39833) at the redshift of z = 4.368 (Zhu et. al, GCN 39769) in the R filter with the 1.5-meter AZT-33IK telescope of the Sayan Solar Observatory (Mondy). The observations started on (UT) 2025-03-21 16:42:58, i.e. about 0.46 days since trigger. The optical afterglow (Fu et. al, GCN 39804; Perez-Garcia et. al, GCN 39805; Brivio et. al, GCN 39807; Zhu et. al, GCN 39809; Becerra et. al, GCN 39810; Pérez-Fournon et. al, GCN 39812; Lee et. al, GCN 39815; Han et. al, GCN 39817; Jin et. al, GCN 39822; Zhu et. al, GCN 39827; Gill et. al, GCN 39831; Zheng et. al, GCN 39832) is detected in the stacked image. The preliminary photometry is as follows:

(mid, days) (s)
2025-03-21 16:42:58 0.46042 30*120 R 22.41 0.28 22.8
The photometry is based on nearby stars of SDSS-DR12 and has not been corrected for the Galactic extinction.
