GRB IKI FuN:

We observed GRB 210704A  (Ursi et al., GCN 30372; Berretta et al., GCN 
30375; Prasad et al., GCN 30378; D'Ai et al., GCN 30379; Malacaria et 
al., GCN 30380; Ridnaia et al., GCN 30388)  with AZT-20 telescope of 
Assy-Turgen observatory starting on 2021-07-08 (UT) 16:59:54. We do not 
detect the optical afterglow (Kim et al., GCN 30384; D'Avanzo et al., 
GCN 30385; Troja et al., GCN 30390; Kann et al., GCN 30391, 30401; Sun 
et al., GCN 30411; D'Avanzo et al., GCN 30432; Rastinejad  et al., GCN 
30433;  Watson et al., GCN 30436).

Preliminary photometry of the filed is following

The photometry is based on the nearby PS1 stars.

Our photometry is consistent with observations of (D'Avanzo et al., GCN 
30432; Watson et al., GCN 30436).
