vol. 2010, 30L) located in Russia (Blagoveshchensk State Pedagogical
University) was pointed to the SWIFT GRB181213.54 (Evens et al. GCN
23525) 81 sec after trigger time at 2018-12-13 12:58:59 UT,
with upper limit up to 17.3 mag. The observations began at zenit distance
= 51 deg. The sun altitude is -50.9 deg.
We find bright OT at a position
16h 33m 04.88s , +78d 29m 48.15s
with magnitude is about 14.9
The galactic latitude b = -60 deg., longitude l = 98 deg.
