report:
The 2-m Liverpool Telescope automatically began observing INTEGRAL GRB
161214A (Mereghetti et al., GCN 20251) in the SDSS r. Within the
INTEGRAL error circle we find an uncatalogued fading object at the
following position:
RA(J2000)= 12:43:00.36
Dec(J2000)= +06:51:50.1
with a 1 arcsec error radius and magnitudes of r=19.66 +- 0.07 at 35
minutes, and r=19.95 +- 0.07 at 61 minutes post GRB trigger as
calibrated against nearby SDSS stars.
