We observed the field of 160816A (Racusin et al., GCN 19802; Mailyan et
al., GCN 19804) with Zeiss-1000 (East) 1-m telescope of Tien Shan
Astronomical Observatory. We obtained several images in R filter
starting on August 17 and 18. We detected optical afterglow (Guidorzi
et al. GCN 19808; Troja et al. GCN 19809) on Aug. 17 and obtained upper
limit on Aug. 18. Preliminary photometry of a combined image is following
