A. Volnova (IKI), W. Mundrzyjewski (Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute),  A. 
Kusakin (Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on 
behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the optical candiadate iPTF14cva (Kasliwal et al., GCN 16425) of 
Fermi GRB 140620A  (Fermi trig. # 424934131)  (Fitzpatrick  et al., GCN 
16426)   with Zeiss-1000 (East) 1m telescope of Tien Shan Astronomical 
Observatory on June, 20 starting (UT)  21:22:56.  We took several images in 
R-filter. We clearly detected optical transient (Siegel et al., GCN 16432; 
Kelemen  GCN 16440) in a stacked image.

Details of the photometry are following:

The photometry is based on  star USNO-B1.0 1397-0294956 (RA 18:47:28.76 Dec 
+49:43:44.5) assuming  R=16.35.
