report:
The field of the optical afterglow of GRB 140629A (Lien et al., GCN
16477, Yurkov et al., GCN 16478) was observed with Russian-Turkish
1.5-m telescope (RTT150, Bakirlitepe, TUBITAK National Observatory,
Turkey) using the TFOSC instrument.
We obtained series of BVRcIc exposures. Start time is June 29, 18:33
UT. The optical transient is clearly detected in each images at
RA,DEC = 16:35:54.44 +41 52 36.7 +/- 0.1 arcsec (J2000).
Using the star at RA,DEC = 16:35:59.9 +41:51:10 (J2000) with USNO-B1
magnitude R1_mag = 16.49 as a reference we estimated the Rc-magnitude
of the afterglow:
Filter exptime T-T0, Mag. +/- Mag.err
(sec) (hour)
Rc 60 4.267 18.00 +/- 0.05
Further OT observations are ongoing at RTT-150.
