(IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 161004A  (Evans  et al., GCN 19979)  with 
Zeiss-1000 (East) 1-m telescope of Tien Shan Astronomical Observatory. 
We obtained several images in R filter starting on Oct. 04 (UT) 
13:36:52.  In the XRT error circle we do not detect any new object. Wa 
do not detect also candidate afterglow (Evans  et al., GCN 19979). 
Preliminary photometry of a combined image is following

Photometry is based on nearby SDSS-DR9 stars (Lupton transformations):
