larger GRB follow up collaboration report:

We observed the GRB060124 error box  (Holland et al., GCN 4570) with AT-64
telescope of CrAO observatory on Jan. 24 between (UT) 17:43:32 and 18:51:06.
The optical afterglow (Kann, GCNs 4577, 4579) is detected in our
unfiltered 36x60 sec stacked image.

The detailed photometry is underway and should take into account the tail of
nearby bright star. The 3 sigma upper limit of our stacked image is R ~ 20m.
