We observed the field of Swift GRB 251126A (Caputo et al., GCN 42843; Evans, GCN 42845; Goad et al., GCN 42851) with the
Zeiss-1000 1m telescope of the Tien-Shan Observatory (TSHAO), the AZT-33IK 1.5m telescope of the Sayan Solar Observatory (Mondy), and the AS-32 0.7m telescope of Abastumani Observatory (AbAO) taking several frames in R-band. The observations began at TSHAO on 2025-11-27 at 16:32 UT (~0.907 days after the trigger), further observations at AZT-33IK started at 18:55 (~1.01 days after the trigger), then followed by AbAO starting at 20:09 UT (~1.06 days 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; Volnova et al, GCN 42861; Breeveld, GCN 42863; Gupta et al., GCN 42864; Burkhonov et al., GCN 42866; Maksut et al., GCN 42868; Moskvitin et al., GCN 42870; Adami et al., GCN 42871) is not detected in the stacked frames from Zeiss-1000 and AS-32 and is seen in the stacked AZT-33IK frame.
The preliminary results and observational details are provided below.
