larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 171212A (Tohuvavohu  et al., GCN 22243) 
with Zeiss-1000 1-m telescope of Tien Shan Astronomical Observatory 
starting on Dec. 12 (UT) 12:21:15. We took several images in R-filter. 
Within enhanced Swift-XRT error circle   (Evans et al. GCN 22245)  we do 
not detect any object. Preliminary photometry of initial combined images 
is following.
