We observed  the field of GRB 211211A (Fermi team GCN 31201, D'Ai et al. 
GCN 31202; Mangan et al. GCN 31210; Tamura et al. GCN 31226) with AS-32 
telescope of Abastumani observatory (AbAO) in R-filter on 2021-12-13 
(UT) 02:21:44 and 2021-12-14 (UT) 01:49:33.

In the first epoch we marginally detected an afterglow (Zheng and 
Filippenko GCN 31203; Jiang  et al. GCN  31213; Strausbaugh et al. GCN 
31214; Ito  et al. GCN  31217;  de Ugarte Postigo et al. GCN 
31218,31228,31229; Malesani  et al. GCN 31221; Belles et al. GCN 31222; 
Kumar et al. GCN 31227). In the second epoch we obtained only an upper 
limit.

Preliminary photometry of the field  is following
