We observed the GRB 211023A (Fermi GBM team, GCN 30958) with Zeiss-2000 
   telescope and Zeiss-600  telescope of Terskol observatory.  The 
afterglow  of the GRB 211023A (Lipunov   et al., GCN  30977;  Kann  et 
al. GCN 30982; Hu et al. GCN 30990; Belkin et al., GCN 31004,31018) is 
clearly detected with Zeiss-2000  and marginally detected with 
Zeiss-600.  Preliminary photometry of the afterglow is following.
