report:
Skynet observed the Swift/BAT localization of short-duration GRB 090916
(Troja et al., GCN 9913) with four of the 16" PROMPT telescopes at CTIO
beginning 2.6 hours after the trigger in UVRI through high airmass.
We do not detect any uncatalogued sources. Stacking only images that
increase the limiting magnitude yields:
