"The 2-m Faulkes Telescope South responded robotically to followup
GRB120211A
(SWIFT trigger 514586; Sonbas et al. GCN 12920) 3.77 min after the GRB
trigger time.
No optical counterpart within the XRT error circle is detected to the
following conservative limits:
R > 21.5 mag (vs USNOB1) at 0.51 hrs from BAT trigger (total exposure =
720 s)
i' > 20.4 mag (vs USNOB1) at 0.58 hrs from BAT trigger (total exposure =
700 s)
We also note the presence of a USNOB-1 object lying on the XRT error
circle border:
05:51:00.786, -24:46:23.86, with R2=20.19 and I=18.74 mag
