E. Mazaeva (IKI), A. Krylov (KIAM), Yu. Krylova (KIAM), S. Schmalz 
(KIAM), A. Volnova (IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of larger 
GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 170519A (Ukwatta et al., GCN 21106) with 
22cm SSS-220 telescope of ISON/Multa observatory(* starting on May 19 
(UT) 16:02:54. We took 120 unfiltered frames with 60 s exposure. The 
optical transient (Ukwatta et al., GCN 21106; Izzo, et al., GCN 21108) 
is clearly detected in a combined image.

Preliminary photometry of the combined image is following
