North Carolina team of the FUN GRB\nCollaboration:\n\nWe imaged an 11.7 arcmin x 11.7 arcmin field near the center of the\nlocalization of GRB 041217 (Palmer et al., GCN 2853) for 96 x 60 sec in Rc\nbeginning 22.7 hours after the burst with PROMPT Telescope 5 at CTIO.\n\nVisual comparison to POSS2-Red reveals no obvious transients, however our\nimage goes deeper.  Calibration to 6 USNO-A2.0 stars yields a 3-sigma\nlimiting magnitude of Rc = 21.5 at a mean time of 23.8 hours after the\nburst for this region.  Only the first candidate of Berger & Gonzalez (GCN\n2859) would lie in our field, but we find nothing at this location.  Our\nimage can be found at:\n\nhttp://www.physics.unc.edu/~mnysewan/grb041217.html\n\nPROMPT is very early into construction and commissioning.  Enclosure\nconstruction began in September 2004:\n\nhttp://www.physics.unc.edu/~evans/promptcam/promptcam.html\n\nConstruction and commissioning of the first two telescopes began only two\nand a half days prior to this burst.  All six telescopes will be completed\nand upgraded to 0.41m Ritchey-Chretien telescopes by mid-2005.  For more\ninformation on PROMPT:\n\nhttp://www.physics.unc.edu/~reichart/prompt.html",
