Sokolov (INASAN, KIAM), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of IKI-GRB-FuN collaboration:
We observed the field of the Swift/Fermi/GBM GRB 260127A (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 43528; Klingler et al., GCN Circ. 43529; Osborne et al., GCN 43535; D'Ai et al, GCN 43539; Trigg, GCN 43546) in R-band with the RC500 telescope of the INASAN-Kislovodsk observatory starting on 2026-01-27 (UT) 23:20:50, in Rc-band with the Zeiss-1000 of the SAO RAS starting on 2026-01-28 (UT) 01:01:40, and in clear light with the 0.8-meter K-800 telescope of the Terskol observatory of INASAN 2026-01-28 (UT) 01:46:18. The optical counterpart reported previously (Saccardi & Malesani, GCN 43530; Lipunov et al., GCNs 43531, 43548; Wu et al., GCN 43537; Hagio et al., GCN 43540; Malesani et al, GCN 43543; Magnani et al., GCN 43544) is clearly detected in the stacked frame of the Zeiss-1000 and is not detected in the stacked frames of the RC500 and K-800 telescopes. Preliminary photometry and observational details are the following:

The photometry is based on several nearby stars from the USNO-B1 catalogue (R2 magnitudes) and is not corrected for the Galactic extinction.
We would like to thank the SAO RAS engineering team: Afanasieva I. V., Pritychenko M. A., Egorov V. A., Shaldyrvan I. V. for their excellent support.
