report:
We observed field around of possible optical counterpart (Blustin et
al., GCN4482) of GRB060111A (Swift trigger 176818) with Russian-Turkish
1.5-m telescope (RTT150, Bakyrlytepe, TUBITAK National Observatory,
Turkey), starting on Jan. 12, 03:37UT, i.e. ~23.2 hours after the burst.
A series of frames (8*300s exposures in R band) were taken. The
afterglow candidate was detected only marginally near the detection
limit of our combined image, which is estimated as R~23.2 (photometry is
USNO-B1 calibrated). We also note that at about 5 arcsec from the OT we
detected an extended source whith R=21.75+/-0.1, which may be a host
galaxy of the GRB. The coordinates of this galaxy are RA= 18h24m49.01s
(J2000.0) DEC=+37d36'09."6 (J2000.0).
The finding chart can be found at:

Also we have to do a correction to GCN4493: We detected extended source
in direction to SE, not NW. The upper limit for the GRB060111B OT is
also actually deeper: R=~23.6 (the difference is due to corrected error
in photometric calibration).

Further analysis of the Swift/UVOT data for GRB 060111A (Zane et al.,
GCN 4479) reveals that the afterglow candidate reported by Blustin et
al. (GCN 4482) in the initial UVOT V-band exposure has faded from view
in subsequent data. The 3 sigma magnitude upper limits from later summed
images in the different filters are as follows:
Filter T_range(s) Exp(s) 3sigUL(mag)
V 3750-4105 59 18.5
V 4757-10346 472 19.6
B 280-17141 1746 21.2
U 6042-16227 1476 20.8
W1 5838-21553 1033 20.3
M2 5633-10550 572 20.1
W2 9942-12104 435 20.1
