larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of the GRB 161007A (D'Elia et al., GCN 20008) with 
AS-32 (0.7m) telescope of Abastumani Observatory  on October, 07 (UT) 
22:14:13. We obtained several unfiltered images of the field. Within XRT 
error circle (Goad et al., GCN 20013) we do not detected optical 
afterglow candidate (de Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN 20014). Preliminary 
photometry  of the field  is following
