We observed the field of  the Swift GRB 180620A  (Evans et al., GCN  22798) 
with ISON-NM observatory. Observation started 84 s after burst trigger. We 
find  fading object in coordinates (J2000) 18:39:35.09 +23:14:39.0 which 
correspond to the OT candidate (Evans et al., GCN  22798). Preliminary 
photometry of the OT in the first image started   on 2018-06-20T08:36:21.666
