E. Mazaeva (IKI), A. Volnova (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP), I. Korobtsev 
(ISTP), M. Eselevich (ISTP), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of 
larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of the GRB 150323C (Amaral-Rogers  et al., GCN 
17621) with AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy) starting on 
Mar., 23 (UT) 11:42:02. We obtained several images in R-filter of 120 s 
exposure. Within  enhanced Swift-XRT error circle (Osborne et al., GCN 
17633)  we clearly detect optical  afterglow (Xu et al. GCN 17625, Xin 
et al. GCN 17631; Watson et al. GCN 17632) in a combined image. 
Preliminary photometry of the afterglow is following
