E. Mazaeva (IKI), S. Schmalz (AIP), N. Tungalag (Research Center of 
Astronomy and Geophysics MAS),  A. Volnova (IKI), I.Molotov (KIAM), A. 
Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 141212A (Ukwatta et al., GCN 17158) with 
ORI-40 telescope of Khureltogot observatory. We obtained 2 hours of 
unfiltered images on Dec. 12 starting on (UT) 12:46:14.  In a combined 
image of the first 5 frames we  do not detect any optical source within 
  enhanced Swift-XRT position (Osborne et al., GCN 17164). Preliminary 
photometry is following
