The 2-m Faulkes Telescope North robotically followed up GRB071003
(Schady et al., GCN Circ. 6837) beginning 189 s after the GRB
trigger time (UT 07:40:55).
We clearly detect the afterglow (Li et al., GCN Circ. 6838).
We measure the following magnitudes in the R filter:
Start Time from trigger
(s) Exp(s) mag R
----------------------------------------------------
189 10 14.72 +/- 0.01
210 10 14.81 +/- 0.01
229 10 14.90 +/- 0.01
----------------------------------------------------
Magnitudes are calibrated with respect to several nearby
USNO-B1 objects.
