(IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration:
We observed the field of GRB 161108A (Beardmore et al., GCN 20145) with
Zeiss-1000 (East) 1-m telescope of Tien Shan Astronomical Observatory.
We obtained several images in R filter starting on Nov. 09 (UT)
22:52:14. Within enhanced XRT position (Beardmore et al., GCN 20147) we
detected the afterglow of GRB 161014A (Malesani et al., GCN 20146;
Butler et al., GCN 20149). Preliminary photometry of the afterglow is
following

The photometry of the afterglow might be affected by nearby galaxy
mentioned in GCN 20149 (Malesani et al.)
Photometry is based on nearby SDSS-DR9 stars (Mazaeva et al., GCN 20160).
