We observed the field of GRB 250129A, which was detected by Swift (Beardmore et al., GCN 39066) with the 30-cm automated telescope at ABObservatory (Rosarno, Italy) using the SLOAN r’ filter. Observations began on 2025 January 30 at 23:41:31 UT, approximately 43 hours after the Swift trigger. The observation consisted of 10 exposures of 240 seconds each, with variable conditions due to passing clouds during the session. The mid-exposure time was 00:07:31 UT, and the final exposure ended at 00:33:31 UT.
From photometry, we detect the optical counterpart in our images at the position of the previously reported afterglow (Francile et al., GCN 39065; Schneider et al., GCN 39071; Belkin et al., GCN 39072; Izzo et al., GCN 39073; Izzo & Malesani, GCN 39074; Gosh et al., GCN 39077; Schneider et al., GCN 39078).
The measured magnitude is:
r’ = 19.32 +/- 0.13 (AB, calibrated against the Pan-STARRS catalogue on SIMBAD) at a mid-time of t - t0 = 00:12:43 after the trigger.
