(KIAM) report on behalf of larger IKI GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed  GRB 190926A (Melandri et al., GCN 25848) with AS-32 (0.7m) 
telescope of Abastumani Observatory starting on Sep. 27 (UT) 01:16:46. 
We obtained several 60 s exposures  in R-filter. We do not detect any 
source within enhanced Swift-XRT position (Goad et al., GCN 25850) in 
the stacked image. Photometry of the field  is following
