report on behalf of IKI-GRB-FuN.
We observed the field of the GRB 250916A (The 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 Shajn 2.65m telescope of CrAO, equipped with CCD-photometer. The observations in the R-filter were carried out on epochs 2025-09-19, 2025-09-20, and 2025-09-21. The OT (Belkin et al., GCN 41847; Mohan et al., GCN 41858; 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; Moskvitin et. al, GCN 41934) is clearly detected in the stacked images taken on each epoch. Preliminary results of our observations are given below:
