E. Mazaeva (IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI), V. Agletdinov (KIAM), A. Volnova 
(IKI),  A. Mokhnatkin (KIAM),   I. Molotov (KIAM)  report on behalf of 
larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of the Swift GRB 170705A (Starling et al. GCN 21289) 
which is also detected by GBM/Fermi and Konus-Wind  (Bissaldi  et al., GCN 
21297; Svinkini et al., GCN 21299) with K-800 (0.8m) telescope  of 
ISON/Terskol  observatory starting  on July, 05 (UT) 18:30:54.  We obtained 
several unfiltered images of 20 s exposure. The optical afterglow  of GRB 
170705A (Starling et al. GCN 21289, Lipunov et al. GCN 21291, Butler et al. 
GCN 21293, Emery et al. GCN 21294; Ugarte Postigo et al. GCN 21298)  is 
clearly visible in a combined image. Preliminary  photometry of the 
afterglow is following
