TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 29277 SUBJECT: GRB 210104A: SAO RAS optical observations DATE: 21/01/07 15:00:45 GMT FROM: Moskvitin Alexander at SAO RAS A. S. Moskvitin, V. V. Vlasyuk (SAO RAS) on behalf of GRB follow-up team report. We observed the field of the GRB 210104A (Fermi GBM Team, GCN #29232; Troja et al., GCN #29233; Biltzinger et al., GCN #29234) with the 0.5m Astrosib RC500-2 telescope of SAO RAS equipped with the Rc filter and FLI Proline PL16801 camera. The observations carried out on 2021 Jan. 4, 0.32--0.38 days after the trigger (T_mid - T0 = 0.35d). In the 37 x 20 sec. stacked image we clearly detect the GRB OT (Troja et al., GCN #29233; Xin et al., GCN #29235; Hu et al., GCN #29236; Hosokawa et al., GCN #29237; Kim et al., GCN #29238; Lipunov et al., GCN #29239; Horiuchi et al., GCN #29241; Breeveld et al., GCN #29247; Zhu et al., GCN #29252; Paek et al., GCN #29254; Kumar et al., GCN #29257; Smartt et al., GCN #29262; V. Kim, GCN #29265; S. Anandagoda, GCN #29273; P. Gokuldass, GCN #29274; J. Mao, GCN #29275) with the brightness of R = 19.4 +/- 0.1. The preliminary photometry is based on R2 magnitudes of nearby USNO-B1 stars.
