on behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB  111215A (Oates  et al. GCN 12681Not found
 
 
) with AZT-11 
telescope of CrAO observatory starting on Dec.15  (UT) 15:18:22  under mean 
seeing (FWHM) of 3.1 arsces and with Zeiss-600 telescope of Mt.Terskol 
observatory starting on Dec.15  (UT) 21:03:45   under mean seeing (FWHM) of 
1.8 arsces . We took several frames  in R-band. Within enhanced Swift-XRT 
position (Beardmore et al. GCN  12690Not found
 
 
) we do not detected any optical 
source. A photometry is based on the nearby USNO-B1.0 stars (R2):
