   We took BVRI-band images of GRB090424 (GCN 9223Loading...
 
 )
  using the 1.0m telescope at Mt. Lemmon (Arizona, US)
  operated by the Korea Astronomy Space Science Institute.
   The whole sequence of the observation started at
  2009 April 25, 04:30:19 UT, among which R-band observation
  started at 04:58:32.22.

   From a stacked image of 6 frames (3 min exp. each),
  we cleary detect the afterglow at R=19.9 +- 0.14 mag, calibrated
  against USNO-B1 stars in the vicinity. The mid-point of the
  obseravation is April 25, 05:10:57 UT (14.97 hrs after
  the burst).
   Analysis of the BVI data is ongoing.

   We thank the LOAO operator, J. Yoon for his assistance for this
  observation.
