S. R. Oates (U.Birmingham) and S. B. Cenko (GSFC)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 200925B
82 s after the BAT trigger (Cenko et al., GCN Circ. 28499).
A source consistent with the XRT position (Beardmore et al. GCN Circ. 28503)
and the optical position reported by the OSN
(de Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN Circ. 28501) and MASTER
(Lipunov et al., GCN Circ. 28502) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.

Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric
system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the early
exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.04 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
