S. Belkin (IKI, HSE), A. Moskvitin (SAO RAS), A. Pozanenko (IKI),  A. 
Moiseev (SAO RAS), D. Oparin  (SAO RAS), N. Pankov (HSE, IKI) report on 
behalf of  GRB IKI FuN:

We observed the optical afterglow (Zhu et al., GCN 33177; Nazarov  et
al., GCN 33178; Moskvitin et al. GCNs 33179, 33187; Swain et al., GCN
33182; Belkin et al., GCNs 33189, 33190)  of GRB 230116D (Sonbas et al., 
GCN 33176) with BTA SAO RAS telescope equipped with SCORPIO-2. 
Observation started on 2023-01-16 (UT) 23:31:38. Photometric 
observations consists of r -filter acquisition imaging and  g,r,i - 
filters after before spectroscopy (Moskvitin et al. GCN 33187). 
Preliminary photometry of stacked images is following

The light curve based on afterglow observations (GCNs 33177,  33178, 
33179, 33187, 33188, 33182, 33189, 33190)   can be found at

The light curve  confirms rebrightening (Moskvitin et al. GCN 33179) or 
plateau at 0.03 - 0.1 days and correlate with XRT LC 
(https://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_curves/01149293/).
