collaboration report:
The 2-m Liverpool Telescope began observing Swift GRB 160705B (Cannizzo
et al., GCN 19657) on July 05, 21:05:14 UT (3.1 minutes after the burst
trigger). Inside the XRT error circle we find an uncatalogued source
which is not present in the SDSS at the following position:
RA(J2000)= 11:12:26.27
Dec(J2000)= +46:42:01.2
with an uncertainty of 0.5 arcsec and r~21 mag (AB) @ 36 minutes post GRB.
