large collaboration report:

We began observing Swift GRB180404A (Gropp et al. GCN 22589) on April 4, 
09:30 UT (0.36 days post burst) with the LCO 2-m Faulkes Telescope South 
unit in Siding Springs in the SDSS-R filter. We marginally detect the 
optical afterglow (Gropp et al.; Selsing et al. GCN 22591) with the 
following magnitude:
