report:

     We have continued  observing the OT of GRB 050820A (GCN 3829Not found
 
 
) with
the Russian-Turkish 1.5-m telescope (Bakirlitepe, TUBITAK National 
Observatory, Turkey)  using TFOSC in R band.
      We made 5*300s exposures between UT 22:40 - 23:05, August 27.  Using
Henden's stars (GCN 3845Not found
 
 
) present in the frames, we estimated the 
magnitude of the co-added image as R=22.14+/-0.1 (184.25h after the 
trigger).
      The OT is fading with the same power-law decay. Using all the data 
obtained at the RTT150 (GCN3864Not found
 
 
, GCN3853Not found
 
 
) we estimated an alpha index of 
power-law decay of -1.06+/-0.03.
