collaboration report:
The 2-m Liverpool Telescope automatically began observing Swift Trigger
650221/IGR J00291+5934 (Barthelmy et al., GCN 18061) with RINGO3
polarimeter, starting 5 minutes post BAT trigger. Observations continued
for 2 hours. At the position consistent with Fox & Kulkarni 2004 (ATel
#354), and D'Avanzo et al. 2007 (A&A, 472, 881), we clearly detect the
optical counterpart. The estimated magnitude is R = 18.07 +- 0.03 at
36.4 minutes post trigger, calibrated against nearby USNO-B1.0 stars.
