Nysewander report:
Skynet observed the Swift/BAT localization of GRB 091221 (Palmer et al.,
GCN 10283) with four of the 16" PROMPT telescopes at CTIO beginning 4.3
hours after the trigger in BVRI.
We detect the afterglow (Palmer et al., GCN 10283; Zheng et al., GCN
10284). Stacking only images that increase the limiting magnitude yields:
