Kapanadze (AbAO) report on behalf of GRB IKI FuN

We observed the field of GRB 220623A detected by Swift (Sbarufatti et 
al., GCN 32243; Kennea et al., GCN 32244), AstroSat (Gopalakrishnan et 
al., GCN 32246) and AGILE (Ursi et al., GCN 32247) with AS-32 telescope 
of Abastumani Observatory (AbAO). We do not detect any optical sources 
within enhanced XRT position (Beardmore et al., GCN 32248). In 
particular we do not detect the source reported by Y.-D. Hu et al. (GCN 
32251). Preliminary upper limit of a stacked image is following:

  Date,     UT start, t-T0,    Exp.,  Filter, OT,    Err,  UL(3 sigma)
                     (mid, days)
