A. Moskvitin, O. Spiridonova (SAO RAS) and A. Pozanenko (IKI),
report on behalf of GRB the follow-up team.
We observed the field of the GRB 260511B discovered by Fermi
(The Fermi GBM team, GCN 44542; Roberts, GCN 44554), SVOM
(Godet et al., GCN 44543), NuSTAR (Waratkar and Grefenstette,
GCN 44556), AstroSat CZTI (Arya et al., GCN 44560),
EP-FXT (Fu et al., GCN 44578), Konus-Wind (Ridnaia et al. GCN 44597)
with the Zeiss-1000, 1m telescope of the SAO RAS
equipped with the CCD photometer. The observations were performed
in Rc band on May 12 and 13 under moderate weather conditions.
