S. R. Oates (MSSL-UCL) and E. Sonbas (GSFC/USRA/Adiyaman_Univ.)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 111204A
143 s after the BAT trigger (Sonbas et al., GCN Circ. 12612Loading...
 
 ).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position 
(Beardmore et al., GCN Circ. 12614Loading...
 
 ) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first
finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.01 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
