collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 140311A (Racusin et al., GCN 15944)  with 
AZT-33IK telescope of Mondy observatory  on Mar. 12 and Mar. 13. Within 
enhanced Swift-XRT error circle (Evans et al., GCN 15959) we do not 
detect the optical afterglow (Xu et al., GCN 15947;  Klotz et al., GCN 
15952).  Details of the photometry is following:

2014-03-13 20:29:49  2.01082    51x120  R       21.6

The photometry is based on reference star SDSS-DR9, (R mag,
transformation by Lupton 2005):
