Astronomy and Geophysics MAS),   E. Mazaeva (IKI), A. Volnova (IKI), 
I.Molotov (KIAM), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB 
follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of the GRB 150413A (Markwardt  et al., GCN 17688; 
Serino et al., GCN 17691) with ORI-40 telescope of Khureltogot 
observatory starting on Apr., 13 (UT) 14:08:52, i.e. ~10 minutes after 
burst trigger.   Within   BAT/Swift  error circle  we clearly detect 
fading optical source  (Ivanov et al. GCN 17689, Tyurina et al. GCN 
17690). Preliminary photometry of the source in single images is following
