We observed the field of GRB 210410A (The Fermi GBM team et al. GCN

optical three color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD cameras attached to the MITSuME 50
cm telescope of Akeno Observatory, Yamanashi, Japan. The observation with a
series of 60 sec exposures started at 2021-04-10 13:35 (9.7 hours after the
Fermi/GBM trigger). We stacked the images with good conditions. We did not
detect the optical afterglow reported previously (Jelinek et al. GCN
Circular #29780, Butler et al. GCN Circular #29784) in all three bands. We
obtained the 5-sigma limits of the stacked images as follows.
T0+[hour] MID-UT T-EXP[sec] 5-sigma limits
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.0 14:00:15 1740 g'>19.3, Rc>19.6, Ic>19.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T0+ : Elapsed time after the burst
T-EXP: Total Exposure time
We used the PS1 catalog for flux calibration.The magnitudes are expressed
in the AB system. The images were processed in real-time through the
MITSuME GPU reduction pipeline (Niwano et al. 2021, PASJ, Vol.73, Issue 1,
Pages 4-24; https://github.com/MNiwano/Eclaire).
