"The 2-m Liverpool Telescope followed up the GRB060206 (Morris et
al, GCN 4682) and started observing its position at 5.23 min after the
GRB. We detect the optical afterglow in agreement with the candidate
from Fynbo et al. (GCN 4683) and Boyd et al. (GCN 4684).
The magnitude of the afterglow was R~16.5 (USNO-B1 calibrated) at ~5.2
min after the burst. After an initial fading, we confirm the
rebrightening (Wozniak et al., GCN 4687) with R~16.3 at 60 min
after the burst trigger time."
