TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 21394 SUBJECT: GRB 170728B: Optical observations at Crni Vrh DATE: 17/07/30 20:13:20 GMT FROM: Bojan Dintinjana at OCV B. Dintinjana and H. Mikuz on behalf of PIKA observing program at Crni Vrh Observatory: We observed the afterglow of GRB 170728B (Cenko et al., GCN Circ. 21371) with 60 cm Cichocki robotic telescope at Crni Vrh Observatory, Slovenia. The series of twenty-six 60 second exposures with Rc filter started at 23:04:41UT, 81 seconds after the burst. We confirm optical afterglow at coordinates reported by D’Avanzo et al. (GCN Circ. 21372, 21373). Photometry results are given in table below. The table contains the mid time of exposure in MJD, time since the Swift GRB detection to the middle of exposure in seconds, Rc magnitude and photometric error. The magnitudes are derived using comparison stars from the APASS catalog. The 3-sigma limiting magnitude in Rc filter is around magnitude 20.2 ± 0.2.
