GCNC 11047) we carried out I-band observations with the 1.23m telescope at Observatory of Calar Alto. The first exposure started on Aug 5.1824 UT (~10 minutes post burst) with an integration time of 120s. The optical afterglow is well detected with a preliminary magnitude of I ~ 16.9, against USNO-B1.0 field stars."
