We���ve just observed the optical afterglow of the extremely bright GRB Swift
J1913.1+1946 (Dichiara et al., GCN Circ. 32632) using 0.36m f/7.7 Schmidt
Cassegrain telescope on 10 October 2022 as the night started. Two sets of
three stacked frames were analyzed, each frame is 180 seconds of exposure
using I�� filter. The magnitude was 17.8!
