We observed Swift GRB 180809B (Moss et al. GCN 23105) with the LCO 1-m
units at Sutherland Observatory (South Africa) on August 09, from 20:58
to 22:29 UT (corresponding to 0.5 to 2.0 hours from the GRB trigger
time) with the SDSS r' and i' filters. We clearly detect the optical
afterglow (Moss et al; Lipunov et al. GCN 23109; Watson et al. GCN
23110; Schweyer et al. GCN 23111) in both filters with the following
magnitudes:
