The observations started 1660 min after the GRB trigger, at the end of
twilight,
with a Ritchey Cretien D=406 mm with reducer F/D=6,15.
Weather conditions were good.
Add 12 x 300 sec. unfiltered images on August 13 2023,
from 20:26:35 to 21:21:42 UT

1660 min 1735 min 20
I confirm a fading afterglow
The results of photometry are:
JD mag Err Flt
2460170.36555307 19.85 +/- 0.2 CLEAR
Magnitudes were estimated with the Atlas catalog and
are not corrected for galactic dust extinction.
