collaboration:
We observed the field of GRB 130122A (Lien et al., GCN 14140) with
SANTEL-400AN (0.4-m f/3) telescope of ISON-Kislovodsk observatory.
Observations started on Jan. 22 (UT) 23:44 and we obtained several
unfiltered images of 60 s and 100 s exposures. Initial part of our
observations were carried under unfavorable weather conditions. Starting on
Jan.23 (UT) 00:14:14 we clearly detect optical afterglow of GRB 130122A
(Lien et al., GCN 14140; Sonbas et al., GCN 14141; Gorbovskoy et al., GCN
14142) in single images of 60 s exposure. A preliminary photometry of
stacked images is based on USNO-B1.0 (R2) nearby stars:
