GRB 060124: Swift/UVOT Observation

S. T. Holland (GSFC/USRA), P. Smith (UCL-MSSL), H. Huckle (UCL-MSSL),
and N. Gehrels (GSFC) on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team

      The optical transient detected by Kann (2006, GCN Circular 4577)
is detected in the Swift/UVOT V-band exposures taken 184 and 629 s
after the BAT Trigger (Holland et al., 2006, GCN Circular 4570).  The
V-band magnitudes, uncorrected for Galactic extinction are.

      The Galactic reddening in the direction of the transient is
E_{B-V) = 0.14 mag.  The Harvard Minor Planet Checker shows no known
minor planets at the location of the optical transient.
