report:
Skynet observed the localization of GRB 080413B (Stamatikos et al., GCN
7598) with four of the 16" PROMPT telescopes at CTIO beginning 27
seconds after the trigger (10 seconds after notification) in UBVRz'
We detect the afterglow (Stamatikos et al., GCN 7598) in BVRz'. At 42
seconds after the burst we measure B ~ 15.7 mag (calibrated to 2 USNO B1
stars), at 55 seconds we measure V ~ 15.4 mag (calibrated to 2 USNO B1
stars), and at 87 seconds we measure R ~ 15.4 mag (calibrated to 2 NOMAD
stars).
