Ibrahimov (MAO) on behalf of larger GRB follow up collaboration report: We observed the field of GRB060717 (Sakamoto et al., GCN 5326) with 1.5 m telescope of Maidanak Astronomical Observatory (MAO) on July 17, (UT) 16:02 - 16:19. We do no detect optical sources in R-band within refined XRT error box (Capalbi et al., GCN 5338). Based on USNO A2.0 we estimate limiting (3 sigma) magnitude of a combined image: Mid time T0+ (hrs), Exposure, R_lim 7.05 840 sec 20.9 The message may be cited.
