P.A. Curran (MSSL-UCL) reports on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 091104 139s
after the BAT trigger (Curran et al., GCN 10130). No optical afterglow
consistent with the enhanched XRT position (Osborne et al., GCN 10131) is
detected in the initial UVOT exposures. Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits
using the UVOT photometric system (Poole et al. 2008, MNRAS, 383, 627) for
the finding charts (FC) and subsequent exposures are:

The values quoted above are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due
to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.01 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel
et al. 1998).
