report:

We observed the field of GRB 181228A (Moss et al., GCN 23570) using the 
2.16-m telescope located at Xinglong, Hebei, China, equipped with the 
BFOSC camera. We obtained 6x300s and 2x600s frames in I-band, starting 
at 13:04:00 UT on 2018-12-28, i.e., 10.18 hrs after the BAT trigger.

The afterglow of GRB 181228A  (e.g., Moss et al., GCN 23570; D'Avanzo et 
al., GCN 23575; Lipunov et al., GCN 23576) is not detected in our 
stacked image, down to a limiting magnitude of ~20.5 mag, calibrated 
with the nearby PanSTARRS field.
