We observed the field of GRB 220117A (Melandri et al., GCN 31466) also
detected by Fermi GBM Sub-Threshold (Veres, GCN 31487), and Konus-Wind
(Frederiks et al. GCN 31511) with Zeiss-2000, Zeiss-600 and K-800
telescopes of Terskol observatory and with AS-32 telescope of Abastumani
observatory. Within the enhanced XRT Swift-XRT error circle (Beardmore
et al., GCN 31472) we did not find any optical source. In particular we
do not find the afterglow reported by Nanshan/NEXT (Fu et al., GCN
31467), VLT (Palmerio et al., GCN 31480), LCO (Strausbaugh et al., GCN
31481). Preliminary upper limits are following
