report  on behalf of IKI GRB FuN:

We continued observations of the GRB 201020B (Fermi GBM team, GCN 28702; 
Malacaria et al., GCN 28710; Arimoto et al., GCN 28716; Ursi et al., GCN 
28714; Ridnaia et al., GCN 28723) with AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan 
observatory (Mondy)  on Oct. 22, 23. The optical afterglow (Lipunov et 
al., GCN 28718; Xu et al., GCN 28719; Belkin et al., GCN 28725; Breeveld 
& Lien, GCN 28743; Vinko et al., GCN 28750; Kumar et al., GCN 28753) 
with redshift of z= 0.804 (Kann  et al., GCN 28765) is  detected in our 
stacked images in R-filter.

Preliminary photometry of the optical transient in a combined image is
