larger collaboration:

On 2010 May 27 at 13:07:01 UT the 2-m Faulkes Telescope North (Hawaii)
began observing in the R and i' filters the SuperAGILE GRB 100528A (Del
Monte et al., GCN Circ. 10810Not found
 
 
), which was also detected by Fermi/GBM (Rau
& Van der Horst, GCN Circ. 10811Not found
 
 
).

We clearly detect the optical afterglow at the UVOT position (Grupe et
al., GCN Circ. 10813Not found
 
 
; Xu et al., GCN Circ. 10814Not found
 
 
; Afonso et al., GCN Circ.
10815Not found
 
 
) with the following magnitudes:
