We observed the field of GRB 231111A (Melandri et al., GCN 34981; Zhang et al, GCN 34990) at with several telescopes,  Zeiss-2000 telesope (Terskol),  AS-32 (Abastumani), AZT-22 (Maidanak), AZT-33IK (Mondy) and AZT-20 (Assy).The observations started at Terskol on 2023-11-11 17:37:54, i.e. 3.359712 hr since Swift trigger. The optical source is detected only in the stacked image of 12*300 sec from Maidanak Observatory in the R-filter,  while in other cases we obtained the upper limits. The results are in consistent with observations previously reported by other teams and us (Melandri et al., GCN 34981; Jiang et al, GCN 34982; Lipunov et al, GCN 34983; Kumar et al, GCN 34984; Sun et al, GCN 34985; Pankov et al, GCN 34994; Ruocco et al, GCN 34997; Wang et al, GCN 35000; Li et al, GCN 35001; Sun et al, GCN 35002; Moretti et al, GCN 35003; Komesh et al, GCN 35004; D'Avanzo et al, GCN 35007; Thoene et al, GCN 35009; Jiang et al, GCN 35012; Sun et al, GCN 35014).
