Gomboc (U. Ljubljana) report:
The 2-m Liverpool Telescope robotically followed up GRB130610A (Swift
trigger 557845, Cummings et al., GCN 14842) 15.5 min after the GRB
trigger time observing with SLOAN-gri filters.
The automatic LT-TRAP procedure detected an uncatalogued fading source
candidate at:
RA = 14:57:40.89
Dec = +28:12:25.5 (J2000)
with magnitude R~17.9 mag (vs USNOB1) ~16 min after the burst trigger.
The object is clearly fading in all filters.
Observations and analysis are ongoing.
