We observed the field of the Swift  GRB 170810A (Gibson  et al., GCN 21450) 
with AS-32 (0.7m) telescope of Abastumani Observatory starting on August, 11 
(UT)  17:02:09. We obtained several unfiltered images of the field.   Within 
enhanced XRT error circle  (Goad et al., GCN   21451) we do not detect  the 
afterglow (Rebolo et al, GCN 21449; Gibson  et al., GCN 21450). Preliminary 
photometry of the field is following
