report:
We imaged the field of GRB 240414Adetected by SWIFT(trigger 1221714)
with the telescope LX200 12” of GAD Observatory, La Spezia, Italy

The observations started 1026 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): 12h 19m 8.07s
Dec (J2000): +56d 44' 26.0"

scope D=300 mm F/D=4.8.

Weather conditions were medium.

The observation with a series of exposures started at 024-04-14 19:28:17 UT
and ended at 2024-04-14 22:27:10 UT

We co-added 88 exposures of 90 sec each.
