"The 2-m Liverpool Telescope followed up robotically the GRB050713
detected by SWIFT (GCN 3581). Three prompt images (2-4 minutes) have
been acquired. No later time observations have been acquired.
We clearly detect the first object suggested by Malesani (GCN 3582) at:
RA = 21:22:09.6, DEC = +77:04:29 (1 arcsec error)
At a mean epoch of 3 minutes after the reported GRB time we preliminarly
estimate a magnitude of r'=19.2 with large errors due to comparison
with USNOB1.0 and magnitude conversion. Further analysis is ongoing.
The afterglow is detected on individual images.
