Cucchiara (UVI/College of Marin)\nreport:\n\nWe observed the field of GRB200806A (Ambrosi et al, GCN 28211) with the\n0.5m Virgin Island Robotic Telescope (VIRT) at the University of the Virgin\nIslands' Etelman Observatory on 08-06-2020 starting at 06:22:50 UT (T+15\nhrs). We performed a series of exposures in R filter with a total exposure\nof 5810 s. The weather conditions were clear during the hours of\nobservation with an average airmass of 1.6.\n\nWe find no new source within the enhanced XRT position error circle\n(Beardmore et al., GCN 28214) and report the following 3-sigma upper limit:\n\nT_mid       ||Exposure     ||Filter      ||Limit\nT+16 hrs   ||5810s          ||R             ||19.6\n\nThe limit is estimated from comparison to nearby USNO B1 stars and is not\ncorrected for Galactic extinction. The VIRT is still in the commissioning\nphase.\n\nThis work is supported by NASA-MUREP-MIRO grant NNX15AP95A, NSF EiR AST\nAward 1901296, and NSF HBCU-UP AST Award 1831682.
