Skynet began observing the field of GRB130408A (Swift trigger 553132, GCN
14361) in BVRI beginning ~93 minutes after the burst using four of the
PROMPT telescopes located at CTIO in Chile. A fading source is detected at
the enhanced position reported by the Swift-XRT team (GCN 14367.)
A preliminary light curve of the first two night's data from PROMPT can be
