report on behalf of GRB IKI FuN:
We observed the field of Swift GRB 230328B (Gropp et al. GCN 33527)
with AZT-33IK telescope of Mondy observatory in R-filter on
2023-03-28 starting (UT) 15:27:18. We clearly detect the optical
afterglow of GRB 230328B (Gropp et al. GCN 33527) at the position of
(J2000) 19 24 01.828 +80 00 34.53 with an error of 0.5 arcsec in both
coordinates, which coincides with the position of UVOT (Gropp et al. GCN
33527).
