6.04 hour after the burst. After combined 10*600s R
band images, no new source or afterglow counterpart (Morgan et al.GCN
9635;Guidorzi et al. GCN 9648) was 
found in our combined image within the XRT errorbox (Morris et al. GCN

The uplimit is estimated to be about 20.6 mag at the mean time 
of 6.816 hours since the trigger.
