report:
I imaged the field of of Swift J1727.8-1613 (GRB 230824A) (Page et al., GCN 34537; Navaneeth et al., GCN 34538, Odeh et al., GCN 34543) with the following telescope: 0.18-m f/4 Mak-Newton reflector at GAD Observatory, Italy, with filters Infrared, Red, and V. I clearly detected a bright object, in the same location as M.Odeh et al., GCN 34543, within the uncertainty radius of the Swift localization, at: R.A. (J2000): 17:27:43.32 Dec. (J2000): -16:12:18.8.
The results of photometry are:
