the Robonet collaboration report:
We imaged the field of GRB 060919 (Guidorzi et al., GCN 5575)
with the Faulkes South Telescope starting at 10:36:10.50 UT
(about 2.8 hours aftert the burst event).
We acquired a first sequence of images in the R-band (6
exposures each lasting 150 seconds) and a second sequence in
R and SDSS-I filters (12 exposures lasting 150 seconds in
each filter).
We did not detect any obvious optical counterpart inside the
XRT refined error circle (Guidorzi et al., GCN 5577) down to
a limiting magnitude of R > 19.5 (about 2.92 hours after the
event).
Further analysis and observation are still ongoing.
