report

With the 0.5m robotic telescope located in Ondrejov, we observed the
position of the Swift rigger 1131029 or GRB 221024A (Brivio et al, 32827),
starting at October 25, 3:18UT, i.e. 14.25h post GRB. In the series of
unfiltered 60s exposures, we detect an uncatalogued source inside the XRT
error box. The preliminary magnitude of this source is ~19.1+-0.1, the
photometry is complicated by the presence of the star nu UMa in the
proximity of the field.
