collaboration report:
We observed the field of GRB 081203B detected by SWIFT in a slew mode
(Copeteet al, GCN 8600) with the Z-600 telescope of Mt. Terskol
observatory. A set of R-band exposures was taken starting Dec. 04 (UT)
01:44. In a combined image of 10x90 s taken at mid time Dec. 04 (UT)
01:53:45 we detect afterglow (Schady et al, GCN 8606) in coordinate
(J2000) 15 15 11.66 +44 25 42.7. A preliminary photometry of the
afterglow at Dec. 04 (UT) 01:53:45 is R=19.8. The photometry is based on
USNO-A2.0 field stars.
