collaboration report:
The 2-m Liverpool Telescope automatically began observing Swift GRB
171020A (Page et al. GCN 22028) on October 20, 23:10:12 UT (3.0 minutes
from the GRB trigger time) with the RINGO3 polarimeter and the IO:O
camera in the SDSS-R filter. We clearly detect the optical afterglow
(Malesani et al, GCN 22029; Moskvitin et al., GCN 22031) with the
following magnitude:
