larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We report photometry of our observation (GCN 17468) of the field of the 
Swift GRB 150213B (Pagani et al., GCN 17464) with AS-32 (0.7m) telescope 
of Abastumani Observatory.  The optical afterglow (Pagani et al., GCN 
17464; Kann et al., GCN 17465; Malesani et al., GCN 17467) is visible on 
single images. The photometry of the afterglow  is following

The photometry might be affected by the presence of the nearby bright 
star (e.g., Kann et al., GCN 17465). The photometry is based on nearby 
SDSS DR9 stars:
