(IKI, HSE), V. R. Ayvazian (AbAO),  D. Datashvili (AbAO), G. V. 
Kapanadze (AbAO) report on behalf of GRB IKI FuN:

We observed the field of GRB 220930A (Cenko et. al, GCN 32603) with 
AS-32 telescope of Abastumani Observatory (AbAO). We do not detect  any 
objects within enhanced Swift-XRT error region (Evans et. al, GCN 
32608). The 3-sigma upper limit is following:

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

2022-09-30 22:09:17  0.48085  70*60  R      n/d    n/d    22.3

The photometry is based on nearby USNO-B1.0 stars
USNO_B10_id  R2
1033-0057261 16.60
1033-0057239 17.39

The obtained result is consistent with non-detections reported earlier 
(Watson et. al, GCN 32604; Hu et al, GCN 32606; Lipunov et al, GCN 
32607; Belles and Cenko, GCN 32609; Strausbaugh and Cucchiara, GCN 32610).
