The LCO 2-m unit Faulkes Telescope South in Siding Springs began 
observing Swift GRB 180329B (Racusin et al. GCN 22558) on March 30, 
08:56 UT (0.78 days since the GRB) with the SDSS-R filter. We detect the 
optical afterglow (Racusin et al.; Perley et al. GCN 22562) with the 
following magnitude:
