We observed the field of GRB 241030A detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN 37955) and Swift/BAT (Klingler et al., GCN 37956) on 2024-10-30T09:54:53 UT, ~ 4.09 hr after the trigger with C-GFT in the commissioning phase. A series of g, r and i band images were obtained with exposure time of 30s. The counterpart (Dichiara et al. GCN 37956, Watson et al., GCN 37957;  Fernández-Rodríguez et al., GCN 37958; Zheng et al., GCN 37959; An et al., GCN 37960; Higuchi et al., GCN 37963, Qiu et al., GCN 37965, Lin et al. GCN 37966) was clearly detected in band g,r and i. The results are,

(T-T0)_mid(sec)      mag     mag_err  band
-------------------------------------
14825          17.50    +/- 0.07  i 
14935          18.01    +/- 0.12  g 
15143          17.84    +/- 0.09  r 

The photometry was calibrated with nearby PS1 star.

We thank the observation assistant Bowen Li and Guangsheng Zhang at Jilin observatory for their excellent support.


Chinese Ground Follow-up Telescope of SVOM mission is located at Jilin, Changchun Observatory, National Astronomical Observatories, CAS. It has FOV of 1.28 deg x 1.28 deg with a 4k*4k CMOS detector mounted on the primary focus of 1.2-meter-aperure telescope.
