larger GRB follow-up collaboration:
We observed the field of the GRB 160104A (Melandri et al., GCN 18815)
with SANTEL-650 (0.65m) telescope of UAFO/ISON-Ussuriysk observatory
starting on 2016-01-04 (UT) 12:21:43. We obtained 60 unfiltered images
of 60 s exposure. We clearly detect optical afterglow (Guidorzi et al.,
GCN 18816) and preliminary photometry of a combined image is following

The photometry is based on nearby USNO-B1.0 stars:
USNO-B1.0_id R2
1013-0049708 15.14
1013-0049721 14.90
1013-0049703 16.30

We also note the presence of a source 11" South-East of m = 20.60 +/-
0.15.
