(TokyoTech) report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 210610B (Page et al. GCN #30170, Ursi et
al. GCN #30195, Frederiks et al. GCN #30196, Malacaria et al. GCN
#30199) with the optical three color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD cameras
attached to the MITSuME 50 cm telescope Akeno. The observation with a
series of 60 sec exposures started at 2021-06-11 10:33:20 UT (14.7
hours after Swift BAT trigger). We stacked the images with good
conditions. We detected the afterglow reported previously (Page et al.

Lipunov et al. GCN #30176, Hu et al. GCN #30177, Rumyantsev et al. GCN

We measured the magnitudes as follows.

T-EXP: Total Exposure time

We used 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).
