(IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration:
We observed of the field of the INTEGRAL GRB 140320B (Mereghetti et
al., GCN 16004) with 0.4-m telescope of ISON-NM observatory starting
on Mar., 20 (UT) 09:35:41. We took unfiltered images of 30 s
exposures. We detect a fading optical afterglow of GRB 140320B
(Guidorzi et al., GCN 16003) in a stacked image of total exposure 300
s and do not detect it in the next stacked image of the same exposure.
Coordinates of the optical afterglow (J2000) 09 42 13.96 +60 16 05.9
(uncertainties of 1 arcsec) coincide with OT coordinates (Guidorzi et
al., GCN 16003). Preliminary photometry of first stacked images is
based on nearby USNO-B1.0 stars:
