We performed optical observations of the field of GRB 251002A detected by SVOM (Saccardi et. al, GCN 42060) in the R-filter with the AZT-33IK 1.5m telescope of the Sayan Solar Observatory (Mondy). The observations began on 2025-10-03 17:00 UT, i.e. ~0.88 days since trigger and consisted of 30x120 s exposures. The optical source found by SVOM (Palmerio et. al, GCN 42061) at z = 2.178 (Saccardi et. al, GCN 42076) and also observed by (Turpin et. al, GCN 42062; Jelinek et. al, GCN 42063; Juliá-Maroto et. al, GCN 42064; Moskvitin et. al, GCN 42065; Perez-Garcia et. al, GCN 42066; Saccardi et. al, GCN 42076; Mandarakas et. al, GCN 42077; Cao et. al, GCN 42078; Schneider et. al, GCN 42080; Pankov et. al, GCN 42081; Leonini et. al, GCN 42082; Odeh et. al, GCN 42087; Wortley et. al, GCN 42091; Shilling, GCN 42099; Calapai & Giorgio, GCN 42101) is detected in the co-add image of 30x120 s. Preliminary photometry and observation details are presented below:

The photometry was calibrated using reference stars from (Moskvitin et. al, GCN 42065) and not corrected for the Galactic extinction.
