Molotov (KIAM), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB
follow-up collaboration:
We observed the afterglow (Hagen et al., GCN 15139; Guidorzi et al.,
GCN 15140) of the Swift GRB 130831A (Hagen et al., GCN 15139) with
SANTEL-650 (0.65m) and VT-50 (0.5m) telescopes of UAFO/ISON-Ussuriysk
observatory starting on Aug. 31 (UT) 13:14:32, i.e. 10.3 minutes
after burst trigger. We took unfiltered images of 120s and 30s
exposures ending observations at (UT) 19:20:53.
In each initial frames we clearly detect afterglow. A preliminary
photometry of the afterglow in the initial frames are following
