I observed the field of GRB 201223A (Gropp et al., GCN Circ. 29158)
with remote telescope T18 (0.32-m f/8.0 reflector + CCD) of
iTelescope.Net in observatory AstroCamp at Nerpio (Spain) on
2020-12-23 since 19:49:22 UT (1 hour 50 minutes 56 seconds after the
trigger). 5 images (with exposures 300, 120 and 180 seconds) were
obtained with Astrodon luminance filter and 4 images (exposures: 300
and 60 seconds) with photometric Johnson V filter. I detected the
optical afterglow in images with position: RA 08:51:09.46 Dec
+71:10:47.00. It is not present in the Pan-STARRS images.
The following magnitudes were measured from comparison to r magnitudes
of nearby stars from Pan-STARRS DR1 catalogue (Chambers et al., 2016):
Time of start (UT) Exp.time (s.) Bin. Mag. r Mag. error Filter
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
19:49:22 300 1 19.2 0.2 Luminance
19:56:25 300 1 19.3 0.4 V
20:26:25 300 2 19.9 0.4 V
20:33:07 300 2 20.1 0.3 Luminance

Magnitudes were not corrected for Galactic extinction.
