report

The  robotic telescope  BART in  Ondrejov followed
automatically the  GRB 070411  (Moretti et al. GCN
6267), with  the first exposure starting 55.7s af-
ter  the GRB  trigger (15.9s  after receiving  the
message).

The beginning of the (unfiltered) optical observa-
tion is simultaneous to  the second gamma-ray peak
of this ~100s long GRB (Markwardt et al. GCN6274).

The  optical transient  (Moretti et al.  GCN 6267,
Kann et al. GCN6268)  was not detected, giving the
following limits:
