R.J. Smith, D. Carter, D. Bersier, M.F. Bode (Liverpool JMU) report:
The 2-m Liverpool Telescope robotically followed up GRB 061110B
(Fox et al. GCN 5800, trigger=238174) beginning 20.0 min after the
GRB trigger time (UT:22:18:45.51).
We find a fading source with R=19.5 +/- 0.3 mag (T+25 min) located at
RA = 21:35:40.4
Dec = +06:52:34.1 (0.5" uncertainty)
that we identify as the possible optical afterglow of GRB061110B.
Magnitude was estimated with respect to USNO B1 catalog.
Further observations are on going.
