A. A. Volnova (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP), A. S. Pozanenko, N. S. Pankov (HSE, IKI) (IKI) report on behalf of IKI-GRB-FuN:

We observed the field of the EP251124a triggered by EP/WXT (Zhou et al., GCN 42816; GCN 42832) with the AZT-33IK 1.5m telescope of the Sayan Solar Observatory (Mondy) taking several 120-second expositions in R-band starting on Nov.24 UT 14:36:01 in the R filter. In the error boxes reported by Zhou et al. (GCN 42816) we do not detect any new optical transient in the stacked frame. The photometry and observational details are the following: 

Date        UT start  t-T0       Exp.    Filter   UL         Site/Telescope
                     (mid,days)  (n*s)           (3sigma)
2025-11-24  14:36:01  0.16386    30*120  R        22.3       Mondy/AZT-33IK

The photometry is based on several nearby stars from the USNO-B1 catalogue (R2 magnitudes) and is not corrected for the Galactic extinction.

Our upper limit is in agreement with previously reported limits (Mohan et al., GCN 42817; Wang et al., GCN 42824; Lipunov et al., GCN 42828; van Hoof et al., GCN 42829; Ma et al, GCN 42833; Gillanders et al., GCN 42862).
