of larger GRB IKI FuN collaboration:

We observed the field of the  GRB 200131A   (Sbarufatti al., GCN  26953) 
with CDK700 (0.7m) telescope  of Assy-Turgen observatory starting on 
Feb. 01  (UT) 14:58:49  in  R-filter.    We marginally detect the 
optical afterglow (Sbarufatti al., GCN  26953; Lipunov  al., GCN  26954; 
Butler al., GCN  26957; Strausbaugh al., GCN  26959; Kuin al., GCN  26962).

Preliminary photometry of the afterglow is following.
