Arne Henden (AAVSO), as part of a larger collaboration, reports:
We observed the field of GRB131018A using the Mt. John University Observatory
Optical Craftsman 61cm telescope (part of AAVSOnet), with observations starting
at 12:55:24 UT (7.6 minutes after the Swift trigger) under poor seeing
conditions and bright moonlight. We do not see any optical afterglow at the XRT
position to a limiting magnitude of R=17 (using APASS calibrations).
