G. G. Williams (MMTO) and P. A. Milne (Steward Observatory), on behalf of
the Super-LOTIS Collaboration, report:
The robotic 0.6-m Super-LOTIS telescope was manually triggered and began
observing the error box of GRB 060510B (Swift Trigger 209352, GCN 5096) at
08:50:00.7 UT, ~28 minutes after the burst. Our initial observations
include 5 x 10s exposures, 5 x 20s exposures, and 30 x 60s exposures, all
in the R-band.
We do not detect the afterglow reported by Mirabal et al. (GCN 5097) or
any other new source within the XRT error box in our first several
60-second exposures to the following 3-sigma limiting magnitude estimated
using nearby USNO-B1.0 stars:
