report:

The 25cm robotic telescope FRAM-ORM at La Palma (Spain) reacted robotically to the Swift/BAT alert of GRB241101A (Parsotan et al., GCNC 38025, Lien et al., GCNC 38033), obtaining a series of unfiltered images starting at 05:42:20.6 UT, i.e. 35s post trigger.

The observation sequence consisted of 40x20s exposures followed by 30x60s exposures, covering a field of view of 30 arcmin centered on the BAT position. We do not detect any new or strongly variable source in single or combined images. A deep combined image of all data taken during the first hour of follow-up (characteristic time T0+1.4ks), calibrated against Gaia DR3, reaches a 3-sigma limiting magnitude of G > 20.2 (AB).
