collaboration report:
We observed Fermi GRB 170121B (Hamburg et al. GCN 20505) on January 23,
07:21 UT (1.7 days since the GRB) with the 2-m LCO Faulkes Telescope
North in Hawaii with SDSS r and i filters. We do not detect the MASTER
optical counterpart (Lipunov et al. GCN 20502) down to the following limits:
Mid Time Exposure Filter Magnitude (AB)
(days) (s)
-------------------------------------------------------
1.69 2x120 SDSS-R > 21.0
1.69 2x120 SDSS-I > 19.5
-------------------------------------------------------
as calibrated against nearby USNO-URAT1 sources.
