On August 24 2024 at 02:59:28 UT the Skynet team issued a circular (GCN 37255) reporting the detection of an optical afterglow associated with GRB 240824A.
Upon closer examination of the photometry, it is clear that the source we reported is actually RBI and not astrophysical in origin. This is consistent with the non-detections for the trigger (GCN 37258, 37257, 37256, and 37253).
We apologize for any confusion this error may have caused.
