TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 37335 SUBJECT: GRB 240825A: iTelescope optical observations DATE: 24/08/29 04:47:21 GMT FROM: Filipp Dmitrievich Romanov at Amateur astronomer filipp.romanov.27.04.1997@gmail.com
I observed the field of GRB 240825A (Gupta et al., GCN Circ. 37274) remotely using telescope T73 (0.356-m f/7.2 Corrected Dall-Kirkham + CMOS) of iTelescope.Net (located in Deep Sky Chile at Rio Hurtado Valley, Chile) on 2024-08-26. Five images (exposure times of 300 seconds, BINx1) were obtained with Luminance filter with mid time 03:22:03 UT (11.48 h. after the trigger). I clearly detected the optical afterglow in the UVOT position. I measured the magnitude of it = 21.0 +/- 0.2 compared to r magnitudes of nearby stars from Pan-STARRS DR1 catalogue (Chambers et al., 2016).
Magnitude was not corrected for Galactic extinction.
