report on behalf of the Clemson GRB Follow-Up Team:
We imaged the field of GRB 061019 (GCN 5728) 4 hours and 52 minutes
after Swift Trigger 234516 (Guidorzi et al.) with the SARA 0.9m at Kitt
Peak under good weather conditions. We obtained 20 180-second exposures
in the R band. We find no fading OT candidate down to a limiting
magnitude of R = 20.5 +/- 0.3 mag (based on calibration of 10 field
sources from USNO A2.0).
