(TokyoTech) report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:
We observed the field of GRB 210824A (Fermi GBM team, GCN Circular
#30699, K. L. Page et al. GCN Circular #30700, M.R. Goad et al. GCN

GCN Circular #30707, Y.-D. Hu et al. GCN Circular #30708, V. Lipunov et
al. GCN Circular #30709) 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 2021-08-25
10:20:44 UT (30.1 hours after Fermi trigger). We stacked the images with
good conditions. We did not detect any uncatalogued sources within the
XRT error region (V. D'Elia et al. GCN Circular #30706). We obtained the
5-sigma limits of the stacked images as follows.
T0+[hour] MID-UT T-EXP[sec] 5-sigma limits
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31.3 2021-08-25 12:29:20.71 4740 g'>18.6, Rc>19.0, Ic>18.3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T0+ : Elapsed time after the burst
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).
