B. Dintinjana and H. Mikuz on behalf of PIKA observing program at Crni 
Vrh Observatory:

We observed the afterglow of GRB 170728B (Cenko et al., GCN Circ. 21371) 
with 60 cm Cichocki robotic telescope at Crni Vrh Observatory, Slovenia. 
The series of twenty-six 60 second exposures with Rc filter started at 
23:04:41UT, 81 seconds after the burst. We confirm optical afterglow at 
coordinates reported by D�Avanzo et al. (GCN Circ. 21372, 21373).

Photometry results are given in table below. The table contains the mid 
time of exposure in MJD, time since the Swift GRB detection to the 
middle of exposure in seconds, Rc magnitude and photometric error. The 
magnitudes are derived using comparison stars from the APASS catalog. 
The 3-sigma limiting magnitude in Rc filter is around magnitude 20.2 � 0.2.
