D'Avanzo et al., GCN 35770) errorbox 33361 sec after notice time and 33382 sec after trigger time at 2024-02-22 18:07:54 UT, with upper limit up to 18.3 mag. Observations started at twilight. The observations began at zenith distance = 50 deg. The sun altitude is -10.1 deg. The galactic latitude b = -12 deg., longitude l = 286 deg. Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here: https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/observ.php?id=2383830 We obtain a following upper limits.
