D. Gotz (CEA Saclay) on behalf of the IBAS Team reports:

GCN number 10025 contains a mistake: the burst name is 091015 since it has been detected on October 15th, and not on August 15th as stated ih the GCN.

report:

The optical afterglow of GRB 091015 (Ferrigno et al., GCN 10025, Gotz et
al., GCN 10026) was observed with Russian-Turkish 1.5-m telescope (RTT150,
Bakirlitepe, TUBITAK National Observatory, Turkey) in partially cloudy
conditions. We obtained a serie of 60s images in R centered at October 16,
17:40 UT, i.e. 0.76 days after the burst. The limiting magnitude in combined
image is estimated as R=~22. We do not detect any new optical object as
compared to DSS II red plate.

Moore, A. Oza, M. Schubel, J. Styblova, A. Trotter, J. A. Crain, and M. 
Nysewander report:

Skynet observed ~90% of the INTEGRAL/IBAS localization of GRB 091015 
(Ferrigno et al., GCN 10025; Gotz, GCN 10026) with one of the 16" PROMPT 
telescopes at CTIO beginning 25.3 hours after the the trigger in z.

We do not detect any uncatalogued sources.  Stacking only images that 
increase the limiting magnitude yields:
