V.Rumyantsev (CrAO),  A.Pozanenko (IKI), M.Ibrahimov, I.Asfandyarov (MAO) on
behalf of larger GRB follow up collaboration report:

We observed the afterglow  of GRB060526 (Campana et al. GCN5162) in Maidanak
Astronomical Observatory (MAO) with 1.5 m telescope in R and B-passbands on
May 26-31, and June 1-2.  Additinnaly we recalibrated observation  with CrAO
Shajn 2.6m telescope (Rumyantsev et al. GCN5181). A photometry is based on
the star USNO B1.0 RA=15 31 18.60   DEC=+00 17 35.00   R2=16.35 B2=16.42
already used in GCNs (Khamitov  GCN5173, Morgan GCN5175,  Kann GCN5172,
Baliyan GCN5185).  R-band photometry of the afterglow and upper limits  are
following:

01.8318  MAO1.5  >23.6
02.8648  MAO1.5  >23.8

The afterglow is clearly detected in B-filter up to May 29;  B-photometry
is underway.
