I observed the field of GRB 240825A (Gupta et al., GCN Circ. 37274)
remotely using telescope T73 (0.356-m f/7.2 Corrected Dall-Kirkham +
CMOS) of iTelescope.Net (located in Deep Sky Chile at Rio Hurtado
Valley, Chile) on 2024-08-26. Five images (exposure times of 300
seconds, BINx1) were obtained with Luminance filter with mid time
03:22:03 UT (11.48 h. after the trigger). I clearly detected the
optical afterglow in the UVOT position. I measured the magnitude of it
= 21.0 +/- 0.2 compared to r magnitudes of nearby stars from
Pan-STARRS DR1 catalogue (Chambers et al., 2016).
Magnitude was not corrected for Galactic extinction.
