V. Nevski (ISON-Kislovodsk Observatory), A. Volnova (SAI MSU/IKI), I. 
Molotov (KIAM), A. Pozanenko (IKI)  report on behalf of larger 
collaboration:

We observed the field of  GRB 120907A (Racusin  et al., GCN 13716) with 
Santel-400AN (0.4-m f/3)  telescope �f ISON-Kislovodsk observatory  starting 
on  Sep. 07 (UT) 00:34:32, i.e. ~10.2 minutes after burst  trigger.  We took 
several unfiltered images  of 30 s and 60 s exposures.  In a stacked images 
we clearly detect optical afterglow of   GRB 120907A (Racusin  et al., GCN 
13716; Gorbovskoy et al., GCN 13718; Kruehler et al., GCN 13719). A 
preliminary photometry of  stacked  frames is based  on the USNO-B1.0 (R2) 
nearby  stars:
