collaboration report:
Following Swift detection of GRB 091102 (Hoversten et al. GCN Circ.
10117), Faulkes Telescope South (Australia) reacted automatically and
began observing at 14:37:06 UT in BVRi. We detect no new source within
the XRT error circle (Baumgartner et al., GCN 10121).
In our first R-band image, which is contemporaneous with the images taken
by A. de Ugarte Postigo et al. (GCN 10122), we do not detect their
afterglow candidate.
We have attached a finder chart of the GCN field (taken at T-To=186s):

We find the following upper limits, as calibrated against nearby USNO
object 0174-0110239:
