#32617) 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 2022-09-30 13:10:00 UT (118.1
minutes after the Swift/BAT trigger). We stacked the images with good
conditions. We did not detect any uncatalogued sources within the
enhanced Swift/XRT error region (Evans et al. GCN Circular #32608). We
obtained the 5-sigma limits of the stacked images as follows.T0+[days]
| MID-UT | T-EXP[sec] | 5-sigma limits
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.23 | 2022-09-30 16:39:02.52 | 14460 | g'>21.0, Rc>20.9, Ic>20.4

T0+ : Elapsed time after the burst
T-EXP: Total Exposure timeWe 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
