(IKI) report on behalf of GRB IKI FuN:
We observed the field of GRB 241018A (SVOM team, GCN 37812) with AZT-33IK
telescope of Mondy observatory in R-filter on 2024-10-18 (UT) 15:39:29. The
afterglow (SVOM/VT: GCN 37819; Swift XRT: Osborne et al., GCN 37823,
Optical NOT: Malesani et al. GCN 37821; SVOM/VT commissioning team, GCN
37826) is not detected in a stacked image. Preliminary photometry of the
field is the following.

(mid, days) (s)
2024-10-18 15:39:29 0.177032 60x60 R n/d n/d 21.7
The photometry is based on nearby USNO-B1.0 R2 stars.
The result is consistent with previously reported optic non-detection
