Astronomy, Russia)
We observed the field of GRB 110731A (Oates et al., GCN 12215) on July, 31
with 0.6-m Zeiss-600 (Terskol Branch of Institute of Astronomy, Russia)
equipped with the PixelVision Vienna CCD (1024 x 1024, bin 2 x 2)
+ R filter, and 1-m Zeiss-1000 (SAO RAS, Russia) equipped with the
E2V 42-40 CCD (2048 x 2048, bin 2 x 2) + B and Rc filters. In both cases
the observations carried out at a high airmass and with the seeing ~4".
At all stacked images we did not detect any source within the Swift/UVOT
error circle (Oates., GCN 12222). Close to the error circle are visible two
objects which are also present in the USNO-B.1 catalogue:
S1: USNO-B.1 0614-0802286 (R.A.=18:42:00.72, Dec.=-28:32:14.9, E.=2000.0) &
S2: USNO-B.1 0614-0802328 (R.A.=18:42:01.24, Dec.=-28:32:11.6, E.=2000.0).
Our astrometric calibration and photometry of S1 object showed
that it can contain flux from OT but due to large seeing we can not
distinguish bright S1 and faint OT.
