S. Belkin (IKI), A. Kusakin (FAP), I. Reva (FAP),  Pozanenko (IKI), N. 
Pankov (HSE), V. Kim (FAP) report on behalf of GRB-IKI-FuN:

We observed GRB 210822A (Page et al., GCN  30677;  Wang et al., GCN 
30678; Prasad  et al., GCN  30693; Frederiks et al., GCN 30694) with 
Zeiss-1000 telescope of Tien Shan Astronomical Observatory on Aug. 22 
(UT) 15:48:55 -- 18:48:47. We obtained series with 20 and 30 sec 
exposition in R-filter.

The optical afterglow (Page et al., GCN  30677; Zheng et al., GCN 30679; 
Butler et al., GCN 30680; Fu et al., GCN 30684; Zhu  et al., GCN 30692; 
Romanov  et al., GCN 30701; Guelbenzu et al., GCN 30703; Siegel et al., 
GCN 30710) at redshift z = 1.736 (Zhu  et al., GCN 30692) is detected in 
stacked images. Preliminary photometry of the afterglow in a stacked 
image of the second series is following.
