The GRB 240809A detected by SWIFT seems to have a very bright counterpart (as reported by KilonovaCatchers: r~14.5) (!!!)
GCN Circular here: https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/37110
Coordinates: (Derived from optical detection, so it has arcsec precision)
RA(J2000) = 15:50:10.51 = 237.54381
DEC(J2000) = -02:19:03.2 = -2.31756
Observations in V , R or (even better Sloan filters g and r) are preferred.
CS & Good luck
