A. Volnova (IKI),  E. Chornaya  (UAFO),  E. Mazaeva (IKI), A. Matkin 
(UAFO, ISON),  I. Molotov (KIAM),   A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf 
of larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of the GRB 160314A (D'Elia et al., GCN  19182) 
with SANTEL-650 (0.65m)  telescope of UAFO/ISON-Ussuriysk observatory 
starting on March, 14 (UT) 11:32:51. We obtained series of unfiltered 
images of 30 s exposure. We do not detect  any optical afterglow within 
XRT error circle  (D'Elia et al., GCN 19182). Photometry of a combined 
image of few first frames is following

Date       UT start  t-T0   Filter  Exp.  OT     U_limit (3sigma)
                      (mid, days)    (s)

2016-03-14 11:32:51  0.01728 none   3*30  n/d    18.7


The photometry is based on nearby  SDSS star J073110.29+170129.9
assuming R_Lupton = 16.132.
