We observed the field of GRB 220107A till now detected by GBM/Fermi (the
Fermi/GBM team, GCN 1399; Kunzweiler et al. GCN 31400) and Swift
(DeLaunay et al. GCN 31402) with AS-32 telescope of Abastumani
observatory (AbAO) and K-800 telescope of Mnt. Terskol observatory. The
optical afterglow (Hosokawa et al. GCN 31413; Siegel et al. GCN 31415;
Zhu et al. GCN 31416) is detected in stacked images. Preliminary
photometry of the afterglow is following.

We note a presence of a galaxy 8.7 arcsec West presented as
J111913.15+341014.4 in SDSS DR12 with r =19.623, i = 19.126 at
photometric redshift of z_ph = 0.34 +/- 0.066. Despite the galaxy is
unlikely to be the host galaxy of GRB 220107A, it might affect
photometry of the afterglow in a crude plate scale images.
