larger GRB follow up collaboration report:

We observed the field of the Swift GRB 120106A (Beardmore  et al., GCN 
12810) with ORI-40 telescope of Kitab ISON observatory on Jan. 6 starting on 
(UT) 18:49:24. We obtained several unfiltered images between (UT) 18:49:24 - 
19:20:20.  On the stacked image we do not detect any source within the 
enhanced XRT error box (Evans et al., GCN  12813). The photometry is based 
on nearby  reference stars of USNO-B1.0 (R2 magnitudes):
