We have observed  the 35 arcmin-radius error circle of GRB 011019 (GCN 1109)
with 600mm automated telescope (TT600) of Kosmoten observatory. Two images
were taken in at 22:00 UT on 19-Oct-2001 (13.3 hours after burst trigger)
and 00:01 UT on 20-Oct-2001. Limiting magnitude of first image was
approximately R ~ 15.5. Visual comparison with DSS reveals no optical
transients in both images.
