of IKI GRB FuN:

We observed the filed of GRB 201020A  (Ambrosi   et al., GCN 28696) with 
AZT-20 telescope of Assy-Turgen observatory starting on (UT) Oct. 20 
(Ut) 14:00:44 (UT)   in  r'-filter.  We clearly detect optical afterglow 
(Ambrosi   et al., GCN 28696;   Adachi et al., GCN 28697; Fu  et al., 
GCN 28701).

Preliminary photometry of the afterglow is following
