S.R. Oates (UCL-MSSL), T. Sakamoto (NASA/ORAU) report on behalf of the
Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began observing the field of GRB 061028 at
01:29:32 on 2006-10-28, 190s after the BAT trigger (Sakamoto et al.,
GCN 5762). No new source was detected within the XRT
error circle in coadded images in any filter down to the following
3-sigma magnitude upper limits:
