We observed the field of GRB 260610B (The Fermi GBM team, GCN 44891; GCN 44901) with the Zeiss-2000 2-meter telescope of the Terskol Observatory on epochs 2026-06-11 and 2026-06-12. The R-band observations were carried out using the CCD-photometer. In the first epoch we acquired a series of 3x120+12x120 sec images, while in the latter epoch 9x120 sec images were obtained. The OT (O'Neill et al., GCN 44903; Watson et al., GCN 44905; Zhu et al., GCN 44909; Gillanders et al., GCN 44910; Akl et al., GCN 44911; O'Neill et al., GCN 44914; Moskvitin et al., GCN 44918; Jackson-Horne et al., GCN 44919; Izzo, GCN 44920; Li et al., GCN 44921; Bochenek and Perley, GCN 44927; Moskvitin et al., GCN 44929; Akl et al., GCN 44930; Bochenek & Perley, GCN 44932) is clearly detected in our co-add images. The observational properties and preliminary photometry are provided further:
