report:

We imaged the field of GRB 231216A detected by SWIFT(trigger 1202749)
with the telescope LX200 12” of GAD Observatory, La Spezia, Italy

The observations with a series of 60 sec exposures started at 2023-12-16 23:14:43 UT, 261 min. after the GRB trigger,with a Shmidt-Cassegrain telescope D=304 mm with reducer F/D=4.75.
at the following position (+/- 2 arcsec):

RA (J2000): 02 39 05.45
Dec(J2000): +33 34 35.0
scope D=300 mm F/D=4.8.

Weather conditions were medium.

We co-added 75 exposures of 60 sec each.

We did not found any optical counterpart in 02 39 05.45 +33 34 35.0 position and in the error box of the XRT  candidate.
