GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of the INTEGRAL GRB 160629A (Gotz et al., GCN 19621) 
with AS-32 (0.7m) telescope of Abastumani Observatory  on June, 01 (UT) 
19:07:28. We obtained several unfiltered images of the field. Within XRT 
error circle (D'Ai et al., GCN 19641) we detected optical afterglow (Klotz 
et al., GCN 19622; Sokolov et al., GCN  19623) on July 1, and obtained upper 
limit on June 30. Preliminary photometry  of the optical afterglow  is 
following
