report on behalf of GRB IKI FuN:
We observed the field of GRB 211023B (Dichiara et al., GCN 30960) with
AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy) starting on 2021-10-23
(UT) 21:23:21. We obtained 60 images in R-filter. We confirm afterglow
of the GRB 211023B (Dichiara et al., GCN 30960; Kuin et al. GCN 30975;
Kann et al. GCN 30995; O'Connor et al., GCN 31000; Rastinejad et al.,
GCN 31002). Preliminary photometry of the afterglow in stacked images
is following

We note the obtained magnitudes are in agreement with non-detections of
the optical counterpart (Lipunov et al., GCN 30964; Pozanenko et al.,
GCN 30972; Watson et al., GCN 30973; Yu et al., GCN 30976).
