E. Mazaeva (IKI), K. Antonyuk (CrAO), I. Nikolenko (CrAO), V. Rumyantsev 
(CrAO),  A. Volnova (IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of larger 
GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of the GRB 170519A (Ukwatta et al., GCN 21106)
with AZT-11 telescope of CrAO observatory starting on May 19 (UT)
19:07:44, and with Zeiss-1000/Koshka telescope of Simeiz branch of CrAO
observatory starting on May 19 (UT) 19:28:57. We took several images in 
filter R with exposures of 180 s. We clearly detect the afterglow 
(Ukwatta et al., GCN 21106; Izzo et al., GCN 21108) in combined images.

Preliminary photometry of the combined images is following
