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

The LCO 1-m unit at McDonald Observatory began observing Swift GRB 
180620A (Evans et al. GCN 22798) on June 20, 08:55 UT (20 min since the 
GRB trigger time) with the SDSS griz filters. The optical counterpart 
(Evans et al.; Butler et al. GCN 22799; Elenin et al. GCN 22800; Tyurina 
et al. GCN 22801) is clearly detected in each individual frame with the 
following magnitudes:
