of Los Alamos National Laboratory report:
The RAPTOR network of robotic optical telescopes made observations of Swift
trigger 547407 (Grupe, et al., GCN 14156). The burst location was within
the field of our wide-field monitor located in Maui, HI, which began a 10 s
integration of the location at 13:56:20.65 UT, 1.4 s before the Swift trigger
time and during the gamma-ray emitting interval. During the period that the
BAT was detecting gamma-ray emission, from ~T-5 s to ~T+65 s (Palmer,
et al., GCN 14163), we have a total of four 10 s exposures with limiting
magnitudes of R~9.4 in moderate moonglow. We do not detect the optical
counterpart (Tanvir et al., GCN 14157; Virgili et al., GCN 14158) in any of
our images. Our 3-sigma limiting magnitudes are based on a comparison of
our unfiltered image to the Tycho-2 V-band catalog.
