Xander J Hall (Carnegie Mellon U.), Malte Busmann (LMU), Brendan O’Connor (Carnegie Mellon U.), Daniel Gruen (LMU), and Antonella Palmese (Carnegie Mellon U.) report:
We observed the counterpart of GRB 250920B (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 41897; Gupta et al., GCN 41898; Wu et al., GCN 41908) with the Three Channel Imager (3KK) at the Fraunhofer Telescope at Wendelstein Observatory (FTW) in the r, i and J band simultaneously for 10 x 60s starting at 2025-09-20 18:19:54 UT (0.4 days after the trigger). We detect the counterpart clearly in all filters and report the following magnitude:
r = (18.81 +/- 0.01) mag.
The magnitude is calibrated against the PS1 catalog. All magnitudes are provided in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic extinction.
We thank Christoph Ries and Ralf Bender from the Wendelstein Observatory for obtaining these observations.
