The Nazarbayev University Transient Telescope at Assy-Turgen Astrophysical Observatory (NUTTelA-TAO) pointed at GRB230328B on receipt of an automated GCN / BAT position alert, observing in Sloan g', r' and i' bands, with the Burst Simultaneous Three-Channel Imager (BSTI; Grossan, Kumar & Smoot 2019, JHEA, 32, 14).
We started observations at UT 2023-03-28 14:55:23, 41 s after the BAT trigger. Observations were made under clear conditions. A new and changing source consistent with the XRT position (Osborne 2023, GCN 33529) was detected. Note that these observations provide essentially full-time coverage, simultaneous in all three bands. We report the following photometric values for the OT:

Uncertainties are estimated at ~ 0.1 mag for all three filters except the latest images of g��� with indications of errors ~ 0.15 mag. tc-t0 = trigger time minus image center time. Calibration was done with 3-4 bright Pan-STARRS catalog stars on our images, and no other analysis or corrections.
We caution the reader that these are preliminary results, without color or other corrections, and will likely change in small measure. Please also note that times are approximate.
