on behalf of the SAO GRB follow-up team and the IKI-GRB-FuN report.

We observed the field of GRB 261026A discovered by SVOM (Goto et al., GCN
46030;
Xie et al., GCN 46068), also detected by EP-FXT (Jiang et al., GCN 46058)
with AZT-33IK 1.5-m telescope of the Sayan Solar Observatory (Mondy)
1-m Zeiss-1000 telescope of SAO RAS and 2-m Zeiss-2000 telescope
of the Terskol Observatory (INASAN).
