We observed the field of the Swift GRB 251126A (Caputo et al., GCN 42843; Evans, GCN 42845; Goad et al., GCN 42851) with the AZT-33IK 1.5m telescope of the Sayan Solar Observatory (Mondy) in R-band and the Zeiss-1000 1m telescope of the SAO RAS in Rc-band on November 26/27 night. Observations with the AZT-33IK started at 20:35:11 UT (1.4097 hours after the trigger), observations with the Zeiss-1000 started at 21:31:39 UT (2.3508 hours after the trigger).
The optical afterglow (Swain, GCN 42844; Fu et al., GCN 42848; Reguitti et al., GCN 42849; Broens et al., GCN 42850; Anguloet al., GCN 42855; Pulido-Torres et al; GCN 42856; Gupta et al., GCN 42857; Cotter et al., GCN 42858; Seki et al, GCN 42859) is clearly detected in individual frames.
Preliminary photometry is given below.
