We began to observe GRB121011A ( Racusin  et al., GCN 13845 ) 
with Xinglong TNT telescope at  11:17:24(UT), about 2 min after 
the burst. A series of white and R-band images were obtained. 
The OT reported by (Racusin  et al., GCN 13845; Kuroda et al. 13845 ) 
was detected in all images.  The brightness of this OT was about 
R=16.8 mag at  10 min after the burst, calibrated by USNO B1.0 R2 mag.
The brightness is consistent with the report by Kuroda et al. 13845.
