M. Muehlegger (MPE Garching) of the
OPTIMA-Burst Team report on optical observations of GRB060904b (BAT
trigger Nr. : 228006; Circ.Nr. 5505, Grupe et al.):
OPTIMA-Burst at the 1.3m Skinakas Observatory, of the University of
Crete, Greece, observed the Swift/UVOT 0.5"-errorcircle of GRB060904b
(GCN Circ. 5519, Oats et al.) on 2006 Sept. 04.
Relative photometry to several close-by USNO catalog stars (referenced
by their R magnitude) was performed for the
detected optical transient in our unfiltered images of 25 second
exposure each. Results are listed:
