and N. Kawai (Tokyo Tech) report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration
We searched for the optical counterpart of
GRB 190123A (A. D'Ai et al., GCN #23769)
with the optical three color (g', Rc, and Ic)
CCD cameras attached to the MITSuME 50 cm telescope at Akeno
Observatory,Yamanashi, Japan.
The observation started on 12:20:56 UT which corresponds to 103 sec
after the trigger.
We did not find any new point source within the enhanced XRT circle
D���Ai et al., GCN #23769; A.P. Beardmore et al., GCN #23771) in all three bands.
We obtained following 5 sigma limits for the magnitudes.
