From
Tracey Poole at MSSL <tsp@mssl.ucl.ac.uk>
T. S. Poole (UCL-MSSL),  S. Campana (INAF-OAB), J. Nousek (PSU), N. 
White (GSFC), N. Gehrels (GSFC) on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team.

The Swift/UVOT began observing the field of GRB060116 (BAT 
Trigger=177533, S. Campana, et. al, GCN 4519) at 08:39:46, 154s after 
the BAT trigger. No new source is detected at the XRT position (S. 
Campana, GCN 4522) in coadded images with any of the filters. The 
following 3-sigma magnitude upper limits are not corrected for Galactic 
extinction; E(B-V) = 0.264.

Filter   T_range(s)  T_exp(s)  3sigma(mag)

V        154-610     219.6     19.2
B        361-706     219.6     20.2
W1       639-802     39.6      18.5
M2       614-778     38.6      18.5
W2       567-731     39.6      18.5

Where T_range is time post-trigger, and T_exp is the exposure time of
the observation. A 6 arcsec radius was used for all filters.
