A. Volnova (IKI), N. Tungalag (Research Centre of Astronomy and Geophysics 
MAS ) V. Voropaev (KIAM), I.Molotov (KIAM), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on 
behalf of larger GRB
follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of the Swift GRB 140129A (Melandri et al., GCN 15760Not found
 
 
) 
on Jan., 29 with ORI-40 telescope of  Khureltogot  observatory (Mongolia). 
We took
several unfiltered images  of 60 s exposure. Within enhanced XRT error 
circle (Evans et al., GCN 15764Not found
 
 
) we do not detect the optical afterglow 
(Melandri et al., GCN 15760Not found
 
 
).

Details of the photometry are following:

UT start        t-T0             Filter   Exp.     OT   UL (3 sigma)
                  (mid, days)                 (s)

The photometry is based 3 SDSS stars, R (gri -> R transformations by
Lupton 2005):
