We observed GRB 120327A (Sbarufatti et al., GCN 13123) in
g,r,i,z,Y filters using CQUEAN camera on the 2.1m Otto-Struve
telescope at McDonald Observatory, Texas, US.

The observation started at 2012-03-27 11:00:08 UT,
or about 8 hours after the BAT alert.
In all of the g,r,i,z,Y-band images taken with 300 sec
exposure each, we identify the afterglow (r ~ 20 AB mag)
which was reported earlier by several groups
(Klotz et al. GCN 13124, Smith et al. GCN 13125,
Soulier et al. GCN 13126, LaCluyze et al. GCN 13127,
Covino et al. GCN 13128,Sudilovsky et al. GCN 13129,
Grosabel et al. GCN 13130).

Further observations are planned.
