A. A. Breeveld (UCL-MSSL) and D. Kocevski (NASA/GSFC/ORAU)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 151006A 36 
s after the BAT trigger (Kocevski et al., GCN Circ. 18398).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Goad et al. GCN 
Circ. 18403) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system 
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first finding 
chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic 
extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.24 in the direction of the 
burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
