report on behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the afterglow  (Rujopakarn, et al., GCN 7792) of the Swift GRB

16:34:23  with AZT-22 (Maidanak) telescope of  MAO observatory in R-band. 
The afterglow is well detected in each individual frame.

A photometry of the two combined images is obtained in comparison with 
nearby USNOB-1.0 stars:
