We observed the field of GRB 241030A (Fermi GBM team GCN 37955, Dichiara et al. GCN 37956) with the optical three color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD cameras attached to the MITSuME 50 cm telescope Akeno.
The observation with a series of 60 sec exposures started at 2024-10-30 08:28:01.71 UT (2.67 hrs after the Fermi trigger). We stacked the images in good conditions. Then we detected a point source in the Rc-band image at the Swift/UVOT position (Dichiara et al. GCN 37956
