M. M. Chester (Penn State) and R. L. C. Starling (U Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 150211A
2116 s after the BAT trigger (Starling et al., GCN Circ. 17434Loading...
 
 ).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Starling 
GCN Circ. 17442Loading...
 
 ) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first
finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.02 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
