larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 170607A (D���Ai et al., GCN 21214) with K-800 
(0.8m) telescope  of ISON/Terskol   observatory starting  on June, 08 
(UT) 23:23:04, about 1 day after the burst onset.  We obtained several 
unfiltered images of 20 s exposure. The optical afterglow (D���Ai et al., 
GCN 21214; Heintz  et al., GCN 21217; Lipunov et al., GCN 21220)  is 
still bright and clearly visible in a combined image. Preliminary 
photometry of the afterglow is following
