We observed the field of GRB 241209B, detected by SVOM/ECLAIRs and GRM (GCN 38478) using TRT-SRO. Observations began 0.209 days after ECLAIRs T0.

We didn't detect any optical afterglow candidate with an upper limit of 22 mag in Johnson-R (3 sigma, Vega Mag) 

Further analysis is required to check consistency with the afterglow candidate of SVOM/VT (GCN 38516).

All the data have been reduced by a single data processing pipeline, STDPipe (Karpov et al., 2022). 

GRANDMA is a worldwide telescope network (grandma.ijclab.in2p3.fr) devoted to the observation of transients in the context of multi-messenger astrophysics (Antier et al. 2020 MNRAS 497, 5518). Kilonova-Catcher (KNC) is the citizen science program of GRANDMA (http://kilonovacatcher.in2p3.fr/).
