From
Ulisse Quadri at Bassano Bresciano Obs <oabb@ulisse.bs.it>
U.Quadri, L.Strabla and R.Girelli report:

We imaged the field of GRB 150413A detected by SWIFT(trigger 637899)
with the robotic telescope of (IAU station 565) Bassano Bresciano 
Observatory, Italy (member of ISSP:Italian Supernovae Search Project)

The observations started 5.44 hour after the GRB trigger, at the end of twilight, 
with our schmidt telescope D=320/400 mm F/D=3.1.

Weather conditions were good.

We co-added 13 series of 10 exposures of 120 sec each.

---------------------------------
5.44 hour    10.26 hour     19.5

We clearly detect the optical counterpart
at the following coordinates:

12h 41m 41.78s +71d 50m 27s +-2 arcsc.

Magnitudes were estimated with the UCAC4 cat. 
and are not corrected for galactic dust extinction:
