"The 2m Faulkes Telescope South (Siding Spring, Australia) automatically
reacted to the INTEGRAL burst GRB 060930 (Gotz et al., GCN Circ. 5665)
and began observing 1.98 minutes after the burst trigger time.
From a stacked 6x10s R-band image (from 1.98 min to 4.97 min after the
burst) with a FOV of 4.75' x 4.75' centred on the first INTEGRAL error
circle (RA=20:17:58; Dec=-23:38:16, J2000) we do not detect any
object not present on the DSS, down to R~19.5 (calibrated with the
USNOB catalogue). Furthermore we do not detect any variable object
down to the same limit."
