N. P. M. Kuin (UCL-MSSL) and K. L. Page (U. Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB
240811A 102 s after the BAT trigger (Page et al., GCN Circ. 37136).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Beardmore
et al. GCN Circ. 37141) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first
finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic
extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.023 in the direction
of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
