 by SWIFT(trigger 511866) with the robotic
 telescope of (IAU station 565) Bassano Bresciano
 Observatory, Italy.

 The observations started 3min 41sec. after the 
 GRB trigger,with our Schmidt telescope 
 D=320 mm F/D=3.1.

 Weather conditions were discrete.

 We co-added a series of 15 exposures of 120sec. 
 
 We did not found any optical counterpart  
 in the error box of the XRTcandidate 
 (Melandri et al, GCN Circ 12834).
