A. Volnova (IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI),  E. Klunko (ISTP), K. Kamyshnikov 
(HSE), N. Pankov (HSE),  E. Mazaeva (IKI), S. Belkin (IKI)  report   on 
behalf of GRB IKI FuN:

We observed the field of  GRB 200115A (Cenko et al.,  GCN 26771) with 
AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy) starting on Jan. 16 (UT) 
  12:30:28. Within  BAT ground-calculated position (Laha et al. GCN 
26780) we  do not detect any  unidentified objects in comparison with 
SDSS-DR2. We also not detected the afterglow candidate reported after 
our first epoch observation (Pozanenko et al., GCN 26790).

We report the correction of R-magnitude of the afterglow candidate.
The result presented below overrides previously reported (GCN 26790) 
R-magnitude. We apologize for the typo and possible inconvenience.

Due to shallow upper limit in the second epoch observation  we cannot 
confirm variability of the afterglow candidate.
