of a larger collaboration report:

The 2-m LCOGT Faulkes Telescope North began observing
INTEGRAL and Fermi GRB 160223B (Gotz et al. GCN 19059,
von Kienlin et al., GCN 19061) on Feb 23 at 10:06:58 UT
(7.8 minutes after the burst trigger) with r filter.
We do not detect any optical afterglow candidate within the
INTEGRAL error circle (Gotz et al. GCN 19059) down to the
following magnitudes:

Mid Time      Exposure       Filter       Magnitude
