follow up collaboration report:
We observed error box of GRB061121 (Page et al., GCN 5823) with Shajn 2.6m
telescope of CrAO. A set of exposures was taken on Nov. 22 in B,R under
poor weather conditions and a set of 22x180 s R-exposures on Nov.23. The
afterglow (Page et al., GCN 5823; Yost et al., GCN 5824) is not detected in
a single images of 60 s exposure on Nov.22 and clearly visible on a single
images of 180 s on Nov. 23. For the analysis of Nov. 22 observation we take
the best single image while for Nov.23 observation we use two combined
images. Preliminary data reduction of the observations is following:
Mid time Exposure, R_mag, Lim_mag (3 sigma)
(UT) s
Nov. 22.1309 1x60 n/d 20.60
Nov. 23.1040 11x180 21.37 +/- 0.05 23.55
Nov. 23.1329 11x180 21.47 +/- 0.06 23.49
Above estimations are based on USNO A2.0 star RA=09 48 57.46 Dec=-13 13
20.10 R=17.30. The combine image of the last epoch can be found in
