follow-up  collaboration:

We observed the field of the Swift  GRB 170822A   (Ukwatta et al.,
GCN  22082) with AS-32 (0.7m) telescope of Abastumani Observatory 
starting on Nov., 02 (UT) 15:53:26. We obtained several unfiltered 
images of the field.   Within enhanced XRT error circle  (Osborne et 
al., GCN   22084) we do not detect  any  object.  Preliminary photometry 
of the field is following
