behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration:
We started observation of the field of the Swift GRB 130427A (Maselli et
al., GCN 14448) with 0.45-m telescope of ISON-NM observatory on Apr. 27
(UT) 07:50:17.
On the first images of 30 s exposure we identified very bright optical
counterpart of GRB 130427A (Maselli et al., GCN 14448) at about 12m in the
intitial images.
The coordinates of the counterpart are (J2000) 11 32 32.84 +27 41 56.2 with
uncertainties of about 1".
Observations are continuing.
