report on behalf of the GOTO collaboration:
The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer observed the field
of the long duration GRB 181201A (Mereghetti et al. GCN Circ. 23469,
Page et al. GCN Circ. 23474) from Roque de los Muchachos Observatory.
We report two optical photometric detections, both made using a
combined L-band image (400-700nm passband), each with a total exposure
time of 300s. The resulting preliminary magnitudes are based on a
comparison to Panstarrs g-band calibrators and include a systematic
error component due to the calibration uncertainty.
