We have continued to monitor GRB 180914B (Ursi et al., GCN 23226;
Verrecchia et al., GCN 23231; Bissaldi et al. GCN 23232; D'Ai et al.,
GCN 23236) with the 0.8m T80 telescope of the Javalambre Astrophysical
Observatory (Teruel, Spain). Observations consisted of a series of 3x300
s griz exposures, starting at 22:47:49 UT on September 16 (2.18 days
after the GRB detection). The afterglow is clearly detected in all
stacked images. We measure the following magnitudes (AB system):
g' = 20.73 +/- 0.05 mag at 2.1875 days,
r' = 20.27 +/- 0.08 mag at 2.2003 days,
i' = 19.94 +/- 0.07 mag at 2.2260 days,
z' = 19.62 +/- 0.07 mag at 2.2413 days,
as compared to nearby PANSTARRS stars.
