(ISTP) report on behalf of GRB IKI FuN:
We observed ZTF22aabjpxh/AT2022cva discovered by ZTF (Ho et al., GCN
31619) with AZT-33IK telescope of Mondy observatory on 2022-02-21 and
2022-02-22. ZTF22aabjpxh/AT2022cva was observed also in optic (Kim et
al., GCN 31628; Hu et al., GCN 31639) and in X-ray by NICER (Pasham et
al., GCN 31635). ZTF22aabjpxh/AT2022cva is considered the likely
afterglow of GRB 220219B (Ho et al., GCN 31619; Svinkin et al., GCN 31624).
We clearly detect the SDSS galaxy at z=0.293 (Fremling et al., GCN
31629). Due to non-optimal seeing we could not discriminate the
afterglow from the galaxy. We use aperture photometry and preliminary
photometry of a source (afterglow+host galaxy) is following

The photometry is based on nearby SDSS DR12 stars

Assuming the host galaxy has R = 19.7 we subtract a host galaxy flux
from a flux of the source (afterglow+host galaxy) and estimated power
law index of a light curve of the afterglow as -1.2, which is typical
for a GRB afterglow.
