detected at the position of the refined XRT error circle (Grupe
et al. GCN 3983) in the initial 100 s V-band image down to a
3-sigma upper limit of 19.0, or in summed exposures with any of
the filters down to the following 3-sigma magnitude upper limits:

Filter T_range (s) Exp (s) 3sig UL

V      85-6154     1049    20.3
B      230-17031   324     20.6
