Skynet observed the field of GRB121024A (GCN 13886, Swift trigger #536580) 
with the PROMPT telescopes located at CTIO in Chile and the 16" Dolomites 
Astronomical Observatory telescope (DAO) in Italy beginning ~1 minute after 
the burst trigger.  We detect the fading optical source reported by Klotz

Further observations are ongoing.
