"On Feb 04.86 UT the Liverpool Telescope robotically
followed up the field of GRB060204C (Swift trigger 180274,
Grupe et al, GCN 4663), beginning at 6.42 minutes after
the burst event.
The automatic "detection mode" procedure did not detect any
obvious afterglow candidate brighter than about R=18.7 mag
from 3x10-s images, confirmed by visual inspection.
We note the presence of two bright stars in the field of
view that limits our detection capabilities in the
surrounding halos.
