report:

We have performed additional optical observations of the OT GRB221009A
(Dichiara et al., GCN 32632, GCNs 32635, 32636,32636, 32641, 32657,
32658, 32660, 32666, 32668, 32670, 32671, 32676, 32677, 32678, 32679,
32680, 32683, 32684, 32685, 32686, 32691, 32692, 32693, 32694, 32695,
32700, 32705, 32707, 32709, 32727, 32729, 32730, 32736, 32738, 32739,
32740, 32743, 32746, 32749, 32750) by using 1.5-meter joint
Russian-Turkish telescope (RTT-150, TUBITAK National Observatory,
Antalya, Turkey) and TFOSC instrument in October 13, 2022. We made
series of images in riz filters with 600 sec exposures each.

We clearly see the OT in all frames. Photometric data were calibrated
using nearby PS1 star. Results of our photometry are given in the
Table:

RTT-150 light curves for 4 nights observations are shown in the Figure:

Power law decay indexes based on RTT-150 griz observations, taking in
account our data obtained earlier (Bikmaev et al., GCN 32743) are as
follows:

g:   -1.42 +- 0.20
r:   -1.47 +- 0.07
i:   -1.40 +- 0.04
z:   -1.38 +- 0.04

Our measurements of the OT power law decay agree well with that
measured in infrared bands (O'Connor et al., GCN 32750, Brivio et al.,
GCN 32652, Durbak et al. GCN 32654), obtained during nearly the same
periods of OT observations.

The mean value of (r - z) color indicates no any significant changes
in the optical spectrum slope during four nights of our observations.
