The GRANDMA telescope network responded to the alert of the ultra-bright GRB 221009A (Swift detection: Dichiara et al., GCN 32632; Fermi GBM detection: Veres et al., GCN 32636).
The first observations started 2.30 h after the Fermi/GBM trigger time with TAROT-TRE without filter.
Below, we report select observations. We also report our 5-sigma upper limits. Magnitudes are given in the AB system.

The observations were contaminated by the nearly full Moon.
Further analysis are ongoing in GRANDMA especially on TAROT, ShAO-T60, AbAO-T70 and C2PU-O.
The KAO, UBAI-ST have been calibrated using nearby stars from the Pan-STARRS catalog in sdss r, g, i and z, measured with STDpipe (Karpov 2022). Lisnyky-AZT has been calibrated using field stars from the PanSTARRS-DR1 catalog, measured with the MUPHOTEN pipeline (Duverne et al. 2022). MOSS and SNOVA data have been calibrated with Gaia DR2.
We advocate a joint multi-wavelength publication for this event and we are happy to collaborate with teams that have the same spirit, to be able to explore the best astrophysical scenario.
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/).
