N. Pankov (HSE, IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP) report on behalf of GRB-IKI-FuN:
We observed the field of GRB 250925A detected by Swift (Dichiara et. al, GCN 41985), at z=3.899 (Castro-Tirado et. al, GCN 41997), with the AZT-33IK 1.5m telescope of the Sayan Solar Observatory (Mondy) starting on 2025-09-27 at 14:45 UT, i.e. ~1.93 days since trigger. In total we obtained 45x120 s exposures in the I-band using CMOS photometer. The optical afterglow initially detected by NOT/ORM (Corcoran et. al, GCN 41990) and also observed by (Saikia et. al, GCN 41986; Pavoni & Moretti et. al, GCN 41989; Bochenek & Perley, GCN 41991; Masi et. al, GCN 41992; Mendez et. al, GCN 41995; Castro-Tirado et. al, GCN 41997; Liu et. al, GCN 41998; Ochi et. al, GCN 41999; Xin et. al., GCN 42002; Rakotondrainibe et. al, GCN 42004; Pankov et. al, GCN 42005) is not visible in the stacked image. Preliminary photometry and observation properties are presented below:
