behalf of a larger collaboration

We observed the field of GRB 170317A (LaPorte et al., GCN  20885) with 1m
telescope of Deokheung Optical Astronomy Observatory (DOAO) in Korea,
starting from 2017/3/17 10:41:47 to 11:59:41.5 UT which is 0.042 days to
0.093 days after BAT trigger. .

We obtained V, R, I images and clearly detected afterglow on the stacked
images (LaPorte et al., GCN 20885; Mazaeva et al., GCN20886; Xin et al.,
GCN 20888; Mao  et al., GCN 20889; Kuroda et al., GCN20899).

The photometric calibration is based on in APASS catalog in the observed
field. No galactic extinction correction is applied.
