A. Gomboc (U. Nova Gorica), I.A. Steele (LJMU) on behalf of a large 
collaboration report:

We observed Swift GRB171205A (D'Elia et al. GCN 22177) on December 7, 
07:21 UT (2.0 days post burst) with one of the 1-m LCO telescopes in 
Cerro Tololo in the SDSS ri filters. We clearly detect the optical 
afterglow (Izzo et al. GCN 22180; Emery et al. GCN 22181; Butler et al. 
GCN 22182; Mao et al. GCN 22186; Choi et al. GCN 22188; Melandri et al. 
GCN 22189; Steeghs et al. GCN 22190; Cobb et al. GCN 22192; Volnova et 
al. GCN 22193) with the following magnitudes:
