We observed the field of GRB 160824A (Evans et al., GCN 19855) with K-800
(0.8m f/2.9) telescope of ISON/Terskol observatory. We obtained several
unfiltered images starting on August 24 (UT) 23:58:36. We detected
optical source in coordinates
(J2000) 05:20:21.18 +40:01:43.5 with uncertainty of 1 arcsec in both
coordinates. This is 2.6 arcsec apart of the center of the enhanced XRT
error circle (Goad et al., GCN 19857). At this time we cannot say nothing
about variability of the object. It is not clear whether our source is the
same as the source reported by Marshall et al. (GCN 19860). Preliminary
photometry of a combined image is following
