We observed the field of the EP transient EP251023a (Wu et al., GCN 42388) in r' filter with the AZT-20 1.5m telescope of Assy-Turgen observatory starting on Oct., 23, 2025 (UT) 20:25:35, taking several exposures of 60 seconds. The optical counterpart (Wortley et al., GCN 42387; Li et al., GCN 42389; Liu et al., GCN 42391; Mandarakas et al., GCN 42400; Lipunov et al., GCN 42405; Selezneva et al., GCN 42406; Mohan et al., GCN 42411; Rakotondrainibe et al., GCN 42420; Rajabov et al., GCN 42422; Volnova et al., GCN 42468; Volnova et al., GCN 42716) is clearly detected in the stacked frame.
