We observed the field centered on the Swift GRB 041006 (Rykoff et al. 
GCN 3116, Krimm et al., GCN 3117, GCN 3119) with the TUG (TUBITAK 
National Observatory, Turkey) 1.5-m Russian-Turkish Telescope (RTT150).

We obtained 8x300s 6x120s 3x60s  R band images on 2005.03.19 starting 
at 17:26:36 UT using the imaging ANDOR CCD. The seeing was 1.8"-2.1".

We further obtained  6x300 s R band images on 2005.03.20 and 2005.03.21
with RTT150. The seeing was poor with Moon.

We calculated the R magnitudes below using the USNO B1.0 Catalog.
