N. Pankov (HSE, IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP) report on behalf of IKI-GRB-FuN:

We performed optical observations of the field of GRB 241215A (Mereghetti et. al, GCN 38573; Mohan et. al, GCN 38574; Leonini et. al, GCN 38575; Liu et. al, GCN 38576) in the R filter with AZT-33IK of Sayan (Mondy) observatory. The observations began on 2024-12-15 14:27 UT, i.e. ~1.08 hr since INTEGRAL trigger. We have covered the entire localization area assessed by the INTEGRAL team (Mereghetti et. al, GCN 38573). No candidate transients were found using image subtraction with ```apex_subtract``` pipeline against the PS1 template image. The preliminary upper limit of the stacked image is given below:

| Date       | UTstart  | t-T0 (mid, days) | Exptime (n*s) | Filter | Magnitude | UL (3sigma) |
| ---------- | -------- | ---------------- | ------------- | ------ | --------- | ----------- |
| 2024-12-15 | 14:27:52 | 0.044875         | 30*120        | R      | n/d       | 21.3        |

The magnitudes were calibrated using nearby stars from USNO-B1.0 (R2 magnitudes) and are not corrected for the Galactic extinction.
