behalf of larger collaboration:

We observed the field of  GRB 130608A (Krimm  et al., GCN 14827) with
SANTEL-400AN (0.4-m f/3)  telescope of ISON-Kislovodsk observatory.
Observations started on  Jun. 09 (UT) 00:01:42.   We obtained  several
unfiltered images  of 60 s exposure. We do not detect any source within 
enhanced XRT error circle (Beardmore et al., GCN 14832). Preliminary 
photometry of combined image is based on USNO-B1.0 (R2) nearby  stars:

T_start,             T0+,      Exp,   Filter,  UL (3 sigma)
(UT)                 mid (d)   (s)
