V. Rumyantsev, N. Pit' (CrAO), A. Volnova (SAI MSU),  M. Andreev (Terskol 
Branch of INASAN), N. Parakhin, (IC AMER, NASU), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report 
on behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB  111215A (Oates  et al. GCN 12681) with AZT-11 
telescope of CrAO observatory starting on Dec.15  (UT) 15:18:22  under mean 
seeing (FWHM) of 3.1 arsces and with Zeiss-600 telescope of Mt.Terskol 
observatory starting on Dec.15  (UT) 21:03:45   under mean seeing (FWHM) of 
1.8 arsces . We took several frames  in R-band. Within enhanced Swift-XRT 
position (Beardmore et al. GCN  12690) we do not detected any optical 
source. A photometry is based on the nearby USNO-B1.0 stars (R2):
