(Shanghai Astronomical Observatory) report on behalf of GRB follow-up 
collaboration and IKI-GRB-FuN.

We observed the field of the GRB 251013C (The Fermi GBM team, 
GCN 42221; Rakotondrainibe et al., GCN 42222) with the 1-m SAO RAS 
telescope Zeiss-1000 equipped with the CCD-photometer.
The observations started on 2025.10.13T19:47:54 UT 
(t_mid - T0 = 2.1369 hours).

The OT (Palmerio et al., GCN 42223; Perez-Garcia et al., GCN 42225; 
Konno et al., GCN 42226; Martin-Carrillo et al., GCN 42227; Masi, 
GCN 42228; Palmerio et al, GCN 42229) is clearly detected 
in the individual images with the following brightness.

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

The observations with the 1-m telescope in BVRI filters
and also with the 0.5-m telescope AS-500/2 are ongoing.
