We  observed  GRB 151027A (Maselli et al., GCN 18478)  
with Xinglong  0.8-m TNT telescope at 2015-10-27 and 2015-10-28.
 
The optical afterglow (Maselli et al., GCN 18478;  Zheng & Filippenko 
GCN 18479; Elenin et al., GCN 18480;  Perley & Cenko GCN 18481; Xu et al, 18485;

The brightness of the optical afterglow is decayed for about 2.5 mag in R-band 
during our observations as shown in follows:
