A. Pozanenko (IKI), S. Belkin (IKI), V. Kim (FAI, Pulkovo Observatory),
M. Krugov (FAI) report on behalf of GRB IKI FuN:
We continued observations of XRT candidate (Burrows et al., GCN 29230)
of MAXI GRB 210102B (Guo et al., GCN 29223) with AZT-20 telescope of
Assy-Turgen observatory starting on Jan. 05 (UT) 13:00:53, i.e. ~3.2
days after trigger. At the place of the only one of XRT candidate
(Burrows et al., GCN 29230) we do not detect the optical object found
early (Pozanenko et al., GCN 29240).
Preliminary photometry of the field is following
