M.F. Bode (Liverpool JMU) report:


"On Feb 04.86 UT the Liverpool Telescope robotically 
followed up the field of GRB060204C (Swift trigger 180274, 
Grupe et al, GCN 4663), beginning at 6.42 minutes after 
the burst event.

The automatic "detection mode" procedure did not detect any 
obvious afterglow candidate brighter than about R=18.7 mag 
from 3x10-s images, confirmed by visual inspection. 

We note the presence of two bright stars in the field of 
view that limits our detection capabilities in the 
surrounding halos.
