The observation\nstarted at 18:04 UT on 24 August 2023, 4.1 hours after the trigger.\n\nWe obtained multiple 180-sec exposures in R filter. We detected a bright\nstar with a magnitude of R=13.5 at:\nR.A. (J2000): 17:27:43.32\nDec. (J2000): -16:12:19.2\n\nWhich is within the uncertainty radius of the localization determined by\nSwift team (Page et al., GCN 34537), however, our detected object is a\ntransient object (AT 2023qql) which was discovered today at 14:37:22 (UT)\n0.6 hours after the GRB trigger, so more observations are required to\nconfirm this link.\nhttps://www.wis-tns.org/object/2023qql\n",
