Skynet observed the field of GRB120913B (GCN 13763, Swift trigger #533613)
with four of the PROMPT telescopes located at CTIO in Chile in BVRI
beginning ~58 seconds after the burst. We detect a fading source at RA
14:14:38.46 DEC -14:30:57.2, within the BAT error circle.
The object peaked at a magnitude of ~15.9 in R (calibrated to nearby SDSS
catalog stars) at ~4.2 minutes after the burst before beginning to fade.
Further observations are ongoing.
