No.1 Senior High School), J.Z. Liu (XAO) report:
We observed the field of GRB 210218A (Sbarufatti et al., GCN 29529)
using the NEXT-0.6m optical telescope located at Nanshan, Xinjiang,
China. Observations automatically started at 13:36:52 UT on 2021-02-18,
i.e., 93 s after the BAT trigger. We obtained 3x40 s, 4x60 s and 12x90 s
frames in the Sloan r-filter.
No credible optical transient is detected in our stacked image within
the Swift/BAT error circle, down to a limiting magnitude of r ~ 20.4,
calibrated with the nearby PanSTARRS field.
