"We imaged the field of GRB 060218 (Cusumano et al., GCNs 4775, 4781)
with the K-380 Cassegrain telescope of the Crimean Astrophysical
Observatory.
Observations of the afterglow have been carried out on 2006 Feb 20 -
Feb 23.
A series of 2-minute exposures in R(Johnson) band were acquired.
Calibration was
based on the SDSS catalog. On Feb 20 19:18 - 20:00 UT for 20 combined
images,
afterglow has magnitude R = 18.00 +/- 0.06 and displayed the brightening
of 0.15 mag/day.
Further observations are planned."
