Pozanenko (IKI) on behalf of larger GRB follow up collaboration report:
We observed the optical afterglow (Xin et al. GCN 9431) of the Swift GRB
090529 (Sakamoto et al. GCN 9430) with the Z-600 telescope of Mt.Terskol
observatory in R-filter between (UT) May 29 19:40 -- 20:20. In a combined
image (20x120 s) we clearly detect the afterglow at the position (J2000)
RA=14 09 52.55 Dec=+24 27 31.2 which is comparable with the afterglow
position (Schady et al. GCN 9435, Kann et al. GCN 9436). The combined image
finding chart can be found at

The photometry of the afterglow is undergoing.
