report on behalf of GRB IKI FuN:
We observed the field of GRB 200412B (Fermi GBM team, GCN 27547; Mailyan
et al., GCN 27558; see also Burgess et al., GCN 27548; Longo et al., GCN
27557; Page et al., GCN 27561; Gupta et al., GCN 27563; Zheng et al.,
GCN 27565) with Zeiss-2000 of Mt.Terskol observatory, Zeiss-1000 1-m
telescope of Tien Shan Astronomical Observatory, AZT-33IK 1.5-m
telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy) and AS-32 (0.7m) telescope of
Abastumani Observatory. We still detected the afterglow of GRB
200412B (Lipunov et al., GCNs 27555, 27556; see also e.g. Kumar et al.,
GCN 27564; Belkin et al., GCN 27566, Stecklum et al., GCN 27567,
Moskvitin GCN 27570; Xin et al., GCN 27571). Preliminary photometry of
the afterglow is following.

The photometry is based on nearby USNO-B1.0 stars.
The light curve based on on above photometry and photometry published
earlier (Belkin et al., GCN 27574; Belkin et al., GCN 27566; Belkin
et al., GCN 27583) can be found at

(For reference, we also posted the photometric results of the Tautenburg
Observatory (Klose et al., GCN 27593; Stecklum et al., GCN 27582; Klose
et al., GCN 27575; Stecklum et al., GCN 27567).
The index of power law decay taken from our R-filter observations up to
2.3 days is -1.58+/-0.07 (see also Xin et al. GCN 27571; Klose et al.,
GCN 27575). Later we may assume a jet break previously suggested by
Klose et al. (GCN 27575) and Stecklum et al. (GCN 27567).
