Nicuesa Guelbenzu (TLS Tautenburg) report:\n\n\nWe observed the field of GRB 191004B (Swift trigger 927839; Cenko et al., GCN #25947) simultaneously in g'r'i'z'JHK with GROND (Greiner et al. 2008, PASP 120, 405) mounted at the 2.2 m MPG telescope at ESO La Silla Observatory (Chile).\n\n\nObservations started at 02:25 UT on 5th October, 4.9 hours after the GRB trigger. They were performed at an average seeing of 1.5\" and at an average airmass of 1.8.\n\n\nWe detect a single point source consistent with the position of the Swift-XRT and MASTER afterglow (Beardmore et al., GCN # 25951; Lipunov et al., GCN # 25948) in all optical and NIR bands apart from K. In an 8 min exposure, we measure an AB magnitude in the r� band filter of r' = 20.86 +/- 0.04 mag.\n\n\nThe optical and NIR afterglow is still clearly detected in a second epoch of observations taken on the night of 6th October, with an AB magnitude r' = 22.10 +/- 0.03 mag.\n\nThe above magnitudes are calibrated again sky-mapper, and not corrected for the expected Galactic foreground extinction corresponding to a reddening of E_(B-V)=0.01 in the direction of the burst (Schlafly & Finkbeiner 2011).\n\nWe acknowledge the excellent support from Regis Lachaume in La Silla in acquiring these observations.\n\n[GCN OPS NOTE(29apr20): Per D.A.Kann, the spelling of the \"Balmer\" author was changed to \"Bolmer\".]",
