report on behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of the GRB 160910A (Veres et al., GCN 19901; 
Racusin et al., GCN 19902) with Zeiss-1000 (East) 1-m telescope of Tien 
Shan Astronomical Observatory.  We obtained several images in R filter 
starting on Sep., 12 and Sep., 15. We clearly detected optical afterglow 
(Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN 19907; Malesani et al., GCN 19908; Lipunov 
et al., GCN 19914). Preliminary photometry of the afterglow is following

2016-09-15 14:31:13 4.91356 R 27*120 21.70 +/- 0.30 21.7

Photometry is based on nearby SDSS-DR9 stars used in GCN 19919 (Mazaeva 
et al.).
