We observed the field of Swift GRB 160228A (Malesani et al., GCN 19107) 
with AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy)  starting on Feb.28 
(UT) 18:31:31. Within enhanced XRT position (Beardmore et al., GCN 
19110) we do not detect any optical object. In particular  we do not 
detect candidate of optical afterglow (Delvaux et al., GCN 19114). We 
barely detect extended bluish object mentioned in (Delvaux et al., GCN 
19114). Preliminary photometry  of  a combined image is following
