M. De Pasquale (MSSL-UCL) and V. D'Elia (ASDC) on behalf of the
Swift/UVOT team report:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB
110210A 144 s after the BAT trigger (D'Elia et al., GCN Circ.
11687). No optical afterglow consistent with the enhanced XRT position 
(Goad et al., GCN Circ. 11689) is detected in the initial UVOT finding 
charts nor in the summed exposures in all filters. (Poole  et al. 2008, 
MNRAS, 383, 627) for the finding chart (FC) exposures and subsequent 
exposures are:

The values quoted above are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.06 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
