A. Crain report:

Skynet continued observing the field of GRB 111107A (Swift trigger 507185, 
Siegel et al., GCN 12534; LaCluyze et al., GCN 12535; Kruehler et al., GCN 
12536; Kuin et al., GCN 12540) with the PROMPT telescopes located at CTIO 
in Chile in B, R, and I.  We detect the fading optical counterpart in R and 
I, with limits in B.  The fading is consistent with a power-law index of 
~-0.7.
