Skynet continued observing the Swift/XRT localization of GRB 130427A
(Maselli et al., GCN 14448, Swift trigger #554620) with four 16"
telescopes of the PROMPT array at CTIO, Chile, starting at 2013-04-28,
23:06 UT, and continuing until 04-29, 3:51 UT (t=39.28h-44.03h
post-trigger). It took ~110 160-s exposures, simultaneously in each of
the BVRI bands. We performed photometry on each exposure, calibrated to
two SDSS stars in the field. B-band photometry was performed on stacks
of 3-4 images in order to provide at least 3sigma detections.
A preliminary light curve of the second's data is at:

See Trotter et al. (GCN 14497) for a description of the first night's
observations. Further Skynet observations are ongoing.
