report on behalf of larger IKI GRB FuN collaboration:

We observed the field of the Swift GRB 190604B (Page et al., GCN  24742) 
  with RC-36 0.36-m telescope of Kitab Observatory starting on June 04 
(UT) 22:26:32 in  Clear filter.    We do not find any optical source 
within  enhanced Swift-XRT position (Evans  et al., GCN  24746). The 
non-detection is consistent with BOOTES-3 results (Hu et al., GCN  24750).

Preliminary photometry of the field is following.

The photometry is based on the nearby USNO-B1 (R2) stars.
