behalf of a larger collaboration, report:
The 60cm BOOTES-5/JGT robotic telescope at Observatorio Astronomico
Nacional in San Pedro Martir (Mexico) observed GRB 191213A ( Cenko et
al., GCNC 26398 ) starting at 13:16 UT (~9.17 hr after trigger) at high
airmass. Within the refined Swift/BAT error position ( Lien et al., GCNC
26418 ), no optical afterglow is found down to 18.6 mag in the clear
filter on the co-added 15 images (60s each).
We thank the staff at Observatorio Astronomico Nacional in San Pedro
Martir for its excellent support.
