A. S. Moskvitin, O. I. Spiridonova, V. V. Vlasyuk (SAO RAS) 
report on behalf of GRB follow-up collaboration.

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 
on October 20 and 21 nights.

(magnitudes converted with Lupton 2005 equations)
and has not corrected for the Galactic extinction.
