GRB IKI FuN:

We observed   GRB 201216C (Beardmore et al., GCN  29061)  with 
Zeiss-1000 (West) telescope of TSHAO, Zeiss-2000 telescope of Terskol 
observatory, and AZT-33IK telescope of Mondy observatory.  The optical 
afterglow (Izzo et al., GCN  29066; Jelinek  et al., GCN 29070; Oates et 
al., GCN 29071; Shrestha et al., GCN  29085) at possible redshift of z = 
1.1  of presumably optically dark GRB (Vielfaure et al., GCN 29077) is 
not detected in our observations. Preliminary photometry of the field is 
following.
