E. Mazaeva (IKI), A. Mokhnatkin (KIAM), A. Pozanenko (IKI), A.
Volnova (IKI), I. Molotov (KIAM) report on behalf of larger GRB
follow-up collaboration:
We observed the field of GRB 161219B (Swift trigger 727541; D'Ai,
GCN 20296) with K-800 (0.8m) telescope of ISON/Terskol observatory
starting on December, 19 (UT) 18:57:51, i.e. about 9 minutes after GRB
onset. We obtained several unfiltered images of 30 s exposure. The
optical afterglow (D'Ai et al., GCN 20296; Kruehler et al., GCN 20299;
Guidorzi et al., GCN 20300; Martin-Carrillo et al., GCN 20305) is
clearly visible in separate images. Preliminary light curve of the
afterglow can be found in
