The Swift/UVOT began the settling exposure of the field of GRB 051221 at 
01:52:29 on 2005-12-21, 73s after the BAT trigger (Parsons et al. GCN 
4363). The 86s delay reported in GCN 4363 did not include the settling 
exposure. No source was detected at the XRT position (Burrows et al. GCN 
4366) nor the candidate IR position (Bloom, GCN 4368) down to the 
following 5-sigma upper limits. No correction has been made for the 
expected visual extinction of about 0.23 magnitudes.
