report on behalf of the GRB follow-up team.

We observed the field of the GRB 241030A (Klingler et al., GCN 37956;
Beardmore et al., GCN 37962; Wang et al., GCN 37972; Pillera et al.,
GCN 37979; Ridnaia et al., GCN 37982; Ambrosi et al., GCN 37988;
Wu et al., GCN 37997) with the 1-m telescope of SAO RAS, Zeiss-1000
equipped with the CCD-photometer on October 30/31 night. We obtained
series of 300 and 600 sec. images in Rc band.

The OT (Klingler 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; Wu et al., GCN 37970;
Breeveld & Klingler, GCN 37974; Méndez-Lapido et al., GCN 37993)
is clearly detected in our stacked frames. Preliminary photometry
calibrated against nearby Pan-STARRS stars (magnitudes converted
with Lupton 2005 equations) and not corrected by MW extinction:
