E. Mazaeva (IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI),  A. Kusakin (FAPHI), I. Reva 
(FAPHI),  A. Volnova (IKI), M. Krugov (FAPHI) report on behalf of larger 
GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 180626A  (Evans et al., GCN 22850; Gotz  et 
al., GCN 22851)   with Zeiss-1000 1-m telescope of Tien Shan 
Astronomical Observatory starting on June 26 (UT) 16:26:21. We obtained 
several images in R-filter.  The optical afterglow (Evans et al., GCN 
22850;  Martone et al. GCN 22854; Troja et al. GCN 22855; Watson et al. 
GCN 22859)  is not detected in a stacked image. Preliminary photometry 
of the field is following.
