of a larger collaboration:
We observed the field of GRB 230409B (Beardmore et al., GCN 33592)
using the T193cm telescope at Observatoire de Haute-Provence (France)
equipped with the MISTRAL spectro-imager. Four exposures were obtained
in the i-band (2x300s + 2x600s) from 2023 10 April 03:03:03 UT to
2023 10 April 03:44:17 UT (mid time ~22.3h after trigger). In the combined
frame, we do not detect any source at the position reported by Evans et al.,
GCN 33594 and Kuin et al., GCN 33595 down to the following 3-sigma limit:
i > 20.6 mag (AB)
The photometric calibration was performed using nearby stars from
the PanSTARRS catalog and the magnitude is not corrected for Galactic
extinction.
We acknowledge the excellent support from Observatoire de Haute-Provence,
in particular Jean-Pierre Troncin.
