Gritsevich (Univ. of Helsinki) and Y.-D. Hu (GXI), on behalf of a larger collaboration, report: Following the detection of GRB 251129A/EP251129a by SVOM (Tan et al. GCNC 42879) and EP (Wu et al. GCNC 42884) we imaged the gamma-ray burst error box with both the 0.9 and 1.5m telescopes at Sierra Nevada Observatory. In addition to them, we also used the 1.23m and 2.2m telescopes at the nearby Calar Alto Observatory. We clearly detect the optical afterglow discovered by Angulo et al. (GCNC 42880), also reported by Wu et al. (GCNC 42882), Masi (GCNC 42885), Li et al. (GCNC 42887), Lipunov et al. (GCNC 42892) and Moskvitin et al. (GCNC 42897). At both Sierra Nevada and Calar Alto observatories we measure R = 19.8 +/- 0.2 and i = 19.9 +/- 0.3 respectively (2.47 h and 2.90 h after the burst onset time). This preliminary photometry is based on nearby stars from the USNO-B1 catalogue (R2 magnitudes) and SDSS and is not corrected for the Galactic extinction.
