Molotov (KIAM) report on behalf \nGRB follow-up collaboration:\n\nWe observed  the field of Swift  GRB 120724A (D'Avanzo et al., GCN 13510) \nwith AZT-22 telescope of Maidanak observatory starting on Jul. 24 (UT) \n15:55:51 under mean seeing (FWHM) of about 1.1 arcsec. Totally we obtained 4 \nimages of 600 s exposure in R  filter. At the edge of the enhanced XRT \nposition (Goad et al., GCN 13515) we detected the object with coordinates \n(J2000) 16 20 43.28  +03 30 27.1 (uncertainty of  0.12 arcsec in both \ncoordinates), which is slightly apart from coordinates of the OT reported \nearlier (Guidorzi  et al., GCN 13511; Holland et al., GCN 13516).  Since the \nobject is also visible in stacked DSS images (R+I) we suggest it is a \npossible host galaxy of GRB 120724A.\n\nA preliminary photometry of the object is based on USNO-B1.0 nearby stars:\n\nT0+        Filter,     Exposure,   OT\n(mid, d)                (s)\n\n 0.42252       R    3x600        20.97 +/- 0.09\n\nA finding chart can be found at \nhttp://grb.rssi.ru/GRB120724A/GRB120724A_AZT22&DSS.png",
