We observed the Swift GRB 110213A (D'Elia et al., GCN 11705)
afterglow with the Lightbuckets 0.61m rental telescope LB-0001
in Rodeo, NM, USA. Under good weather conditions, four
observations were carried out in the R filter starting
2011-02-13 at 05:33:14 UT (~ 15.7 mins after the GRB trigger).
The burst afterglow is clearly detected in all four
observations and estimated magnitudes are given below:
Time after trigger Exposure (s) Filter Magnitude
15.7 mins (0.26 hours) 60 R 15.4 +/- 0.1
17.8 mins (0.30 hours) 60 R 15.5 +/- 0.1
19.9 mins (0.33 hours) 60 R 15.5 +/- 0.1
22.6 mins (0.38 hours) 60 R 15.7 +/- 0.1
The afterglow, not corrected for Galactic extinction, is
calibrated against the USNO-B1.0 catalog.
