collaboration report:
We began observing Fermi LAT GRB 171010A (Omodei et al. GCN 21985) on
October 11, from 02:15 to 02:28 UT (7.2 hours since the GRB trigger
time) with one of the 1-m LCO telescopes in Sutherland in the SDSS-I
filter. Within the enhanced Swift-XRT circle (D'Ai et al. GCN 21989) we
clearly detect the optical afterglow (Thorstensen and Halpern, GCN
21987; Izzo and Malesani, GCN 21988) with the following magnitude:
