follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of the MAXI J1813-095 source (trigger=811167; ATel 
#11323 Kawase et al.) with AS-32 (0.7m). We obtained several unfiltered 
images  starting on Feb. 22 (UT) 01:40:27. We do not detect any evident 
object within XRT error circle (Beardmore  et al., GCN 22431). The only 
one object which is visible in POSS2 in coordinates  (J2000) 18:13:33.84 
  -09:31:54.5 +/-0.8 is also visible in our combined image. The 
magnitude of the source is 18.92 +/- 0.12 and calibrated against nearby 
USNO-B1.0 stars.

The field photometry is following
