  "body": "Mohammad Odeh (Al-Khatim Observatory, AKO, operated by the International\nAstronomical Center in Abu Dhabi, UAE), and Dalya Akl, Ilmah Abdi, and\nNidhal Guessoum (American University of Sharjah, UAE), report:\n\nWe observed the field of GRB 231024A (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 34876; Gompertz\net al., GCN 34878; Iglesias-López et al., GCN 34881; Saccardi et al., GCN\n34882; Scotton et. al., GCN 34885) with our 0.36m f/7.7 robotic telescope.\n\nThe observation was done on 29 October 2023 from 17:31 UT to 19:14 UT, 5.21\ndays after the trigger. We obtained 32x180 sec. images using (Ic) filter.\n\nWe detected the optical afterglow candidate of GRB 231024A in our stacked\nimages at the coordinates (J2000.0): R.A.: 00:55:07.28, Dec.: -15:15:19.6,\nwhich is consistent with the observation of (Gompertz et al., GCN 34878).\n\nThe following magnitude was calculated using the Atlas catalogue as a\nreference:\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\nObsTime (mid), Exposure (sec), Filter, Mag, MagRMS\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n2023-10-29T18:24:01Z, 32x180s (stacked), Ic, 18.3, 0.16\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe magnitude is not corrected for galactic extinction.\n",
