Speckhard, A.Trotter, and J. A. Crain report:
Skynet observed the field of GRB120327A (Sbarufatti et al., GCN 13123) with
the PROMPT telescopes located at CTIO in Chile beginning ~11 minutes after
the burst in BVRI. �Observations were delayed due to horizon limits. �We
detect a bright, fading afterglow at the location reported by Klotz et al.
(GCN 13124) in all filters. �A preliminary light curve, calibrated to
nearby USNO B1.0 stars, �can be found at:
