We observed the GRB 240101A (Cenko et al., GCN 35448) with Zeiss-2000 telescope of Terskol observatory starting on 2024-01-01 (UT) 16:10:24. Within enhanced Enhanced Swift-XRT position (Beardmore et al., GCN 35452) we do not detect any optical objects. However we marginally detected the object at coordinates (J2000) 00:41:23.50 +8:30:58.48, which is 3.4 arcsec from XRT position (Beardmore et al., GCN 35452). Preliminary photometry of the marginally detected object is following.
