We observed the field of GRB 260131A/B (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 43579; Sugai et al., GCN 43580; Roberts et al., GCN 43585; Frederiks et al., GCN 43590; Luo et al., GCN 43591; Jiang et al., GCN 43600; Li et al., GCN 43605) with the AZT-33IK 1.5m telescope of the Mondy observatory on Feb. 4 and 5, and with the 2-meter Zeiss-2000 telescope of the Terskol observatory on Feb. 4 taking several frames in the R band. The optical counterpart reported by Gompertz et al., GCN 43586; Lee et al., GCN 43587; Saccardi et al., GCN 43595; García García et al., GCN 43599, Shi et al., GCN 43601; Sanchez-Ramirez et al., GCN 43604; Jayaraman et al., GCN 43606; Zhu et al., GCN 43607; Zheng et al., GCN 43609; Adami et al., GCN 43610, is detected in the stacked frame of every epoch. Preliminary photometry and observation data are the following:
