Ogawa, Y. Yatsu, and N. Kawai (TokyoTech) report on behalf of the
MITSuME collaboration:
We performed further observation of the field of GRB 200524A
(Fermi-LAT detection: Dirirsa et al., GCN #27797, Fermi-GBM detection:
Pookalil et al., GCN #27809, Swift-XRT afterglow detection: Capalbi et
al. GCN #27811, and others) with the optical three color (g', Rc, and
Ic) CCD cameras attached to the MITSuME 50 cm telescope of Akeno
Observatory, Yamanashi, Japan.
The observation started on 2020-05-25 11:27:25.65 UT. We did not
detect the optical afterglow (Ho et al., GCN #27799, Kumar et al., GCN
#27800, Rumyantsev et al., GCN #27802, Sanwal et al., GCN #27803,
Perley et al., GCN #27805, Kumar et al., GCN #27806, de Ugarte Postigo
et al., GCN #27807, Blazek et al., GCN #27810, Ogawa et al., GCN
#27813, Zheng et al., GCN #27814, Izzo et al., GCN #27817, Belkin et
al., GCN #27820, Belkin et al., GCN #27821) in the stacked images. We
obtained the 5-sigma limits as follows.

We used the GSC2.3 catalog for flux calibration. The magnitudes are
expressed in the Vega system. The images were processed in real-time
through the MITSuME GPU reduction pipeline (Niwano et al. ,in prep;
