E. Mazaeva (IKI), A. Volnova (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP), I. Korobtsev 
(ISTP), M. Eselevich (ISTP), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of 
larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We continue observations of the field of GRB 141121A (Lien et al., GCN 
17075) with AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy). We obtained 
several  images in R-filter on Nov., 30, Dec. 1 - 2. In a combined image 
we detect optical  afterglow (Tanga et al., GCN 17078; Perley et al., 
GCN 17081).

A preliminary photometry of the OT is based on nearby SDSS DR9 stars:

source (Watson et al., GCN 17105; Mazaeva et al., GCN 17111).
