"Pi of the Sky" apparatus located at Las Campanas Observatory
imaged the region of GRB 070521 from 6:13 UT, i.e. 38 minutes
before the GRB, with 10s exposures (IR-cut filter only).
The most interesting exposure started at 6:51:10.9,
i.e. exactly in coincidence with the GRB trigger.
Variable thin clouds seriously disturbed the observations.
No OT was detected within the XRT error box.
Limits for 10s exposures:
6:50:44-6:50:54 >11.7
6:50:57-6:51:07 >11.9
6:51:10-6:51:20 >12.0 --- GRB trigger
6:51:24-6:51:34 >12.0
6:51:38-6:51:48 >12.2
Limits for 20 coadded images
6:42:51-6:47:17 >12.2
6:47:21-6:51:48 >12.6
6:51:52-6:56:18 >12.5
6:56:22-7:00:53 >12.7
