We performed optical observations of the field of GRB 241029A (The Fermi GBM team, GCN 37932; Schanne et. al, GCN 37934; Wang et. al, GCN 37935; Evans, GCN 37936; Jiang et. al, GCN 37937; Lin et. al, GCN 37939; Jiang et. al, GCN 37940; C.Francile et. al, GCN 37941; Ackley et. al, GCN 37943; Odeh et. al, GCN 37944; Myers et. al, GCN 37945; Bernardini et. al, GCN 37946; Adami et. al, GCN 37948; Fernandez et. al, GCN 37950; Moskvitin et. al, GCN 37954; Saikia et. al, GCN 37961; Qiu et. al, GCN 37994; Izzo, GCN 38006; Watson et. al, GCN 38009; Dafcikova et. al, GCN 38048) in the R filter with AS-32 of Abastumani observatory (AbAO) equipped with CCD-photometer FLI PL4240. The observations began on 2024-10-29 15:10 UT, i.e. ~0.55 days since trigger. The optical counterpart is marginally detected in the stacked image of 43*60 sec. The preliminary photometry is given below:
