LIGO/Virgo G299232: observations of the optical Transient Discovered by Swift/UVOT

We observed the field of the Optical Transient discovered by Swift/UVOT (Emery et al., GCN 21733) with Zeiss-1000 1-m telescope of Tien Shan Astronomical Observatory starting on 2017-08-28 (UT) 18:54:36. We obtained several images in R-filter. The optical transient (Emery et al., GCN 21733) is not detected in a combined image. Preliminary photometry of the afterglow is following.
