We observed the field of the GRB 250916A (Fermi GBM team, GCN 41839;
Arya et al., GCN 41843; Cheung et al., GCN 41855; Osborne et al.,
GCN 41862; Waratkar and Grefenstette, GCN 41871; Godwin and Meegan,
GCN 41876) with the 1-m SAO RAS telescope Zeiss-1000 equipped
with the CCD-photometer. We obtained 9 x 300 sec. images Rc band
on September 21, 23:36:57 -- September 22, 00:47:22 UT
(t_mid - T0 = 5.44639 days).
The optical transient (Belkin et al., GCN 41847; Mohan et al.,
GCN 41858; Moskvitin et al., GCN 41859; Burkhonov et al., GCN 41860;
de Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN 41863; Moskvitin et al., GCN 41870;
Zheng and Filippenko, GCN 41873; Pankov et al., GCN 41892;
Hall et al., GCN 41921) is clearly detected in the stacked frame
with the brightness of R = 22.6 +/- 0.1.

Preliminary photometry is based on the nearby objects from PanSTARRS
(magnitudes converted with Lupton 2005 equations)
and has not corrected for the Galactic extinction.
