We observed the field of the GRB 251023B / EP251023b (Kang et al., GCN Circ. 42392; Nakahira et al., GCN Circ. 42402; Wu et al., GCN Circ. 42415; Cheung et al., GCN Circ. 42407) in the R-filter with the AZT-33IK 1.5m telescope of the Sayan Solar Observatory (Mondy) starting Oct. 25, 2025, 17:50:36 UT, and taking several frames with 120 s exposures. The optical candidate reported by Mandarakas et al. (GCN Circ. 42404) is not detected in the stacked frame. Photometry and observational details are the following:
