The observations started at 20:57 UT of 2024/08/21, after about 30 minutes after the transient, with clear sky, with principal telescope SC 0.35 f/10 with focal reduced + CCD Sbig ST10 XME
I took 23 image of 60 sec each. All images are unfiltered, calibrated with masterdark and masterflat,stacked with Tycho Tracker software
We have not detected any clearly visible sources, up to 19.0th magnitude with clear skies.
