55 sec after notice time and 90 sec after trigger time at 2023-11-29 19:11:48 UT (Lipunov et al. GCN 35216)
by MASTER-SAAO.

There is OT source at R.A.,Dec(2000)=00:44:37.97 -81:59:48.75 +-4" with  m_OT~17.6 at maximum (unfiltered) at first images with decay inside Swift XRT error-box (Evans et al. GCN 35225, Gropp  et al. GCN 35234)

Reduction will be continued.
