report on behalf of GRB follow-up collaboration and IKI-GRB-FuN.
We observed the field of the GRB 250916A (Fermi GBM team, GCN 41839;
Arya et al., GCN 41843; Cheung et al., GCN 41855) with the 1-m SAO RAS
telescope Zeiss-1000 equipped with CCD-photometer.
We obtained series of 300 sec. images in BVRcIc bands on September 17,
20:21:44--21:42:59 UT.
The OT (Belkin et al., GCN 41847; Mohan et al., GCN 41858) is clearly
detected in the individual and stacked frames with the brightness
of R = 19.60 +/- 0.02 (t_mid - T0 = 1.3059 days = 31.3419 hours).
Preliminary photometry is based on the nearby objects from PanSTARRS
(magnitudes converted with Lupton 2005 equations)
and has not corrected for the Galactic extinction.
