I. Tosta e Melo (INFN-LNS) report on behalf of GRANDMA collaboration:

The GRANDMA telescope network responded to the alert of the ultra-bright
GRB 221009A (Swift detection: Dichiara et al., GCN 32632; Fermi
GBM detection: Veres et al., GCN 32636).

The first observations started 2.30 h after the Fermi/GBM trigger time
with TAROT-TRE without filter.

Below, we report select observations. We also report our 5-sigma upper
limits. Magnitudes are given in the AB system.

The observations were contaminated by the nearly full Moon.

Further analysis are ongoing in GRANDMA especially on
TAROT, ShAO-T60, AbAO-T70 and C2PU-O.

The KAO, UBAI-ST have been calibrated using nearby
stars from the Pan-STARRS catalog in sdss r, g, i and z, measured with
STDpipe (Karpov 2022). Lisnyky-AZT has been calibrated using field
stars from the PanSTARRS-DR1 catalog, measured with the MUPHOTEN pipeline
(Duverne et al. 2022). MOSS and SNOVA data have been calibrated with
Gaia DR2.

We advocate a joint multi-wavelength publication for this event and we are
happy to collaborate with teams that have the same spirit,
to be able to explore the best astrophysical scenario.

GRANDMA is a worldwide telescope network (grandma.ijclab.in2p3.fr)
devoted to the observation of transients in the context of multi-messenger
astrophysics (Antier et al. 2020 MNRAS 497, 5518). Kilonova-Catcher (KNC) is
the citizen science program of GRANDMA (http://kilonovacatcher.in2p3.fr/).
