GRB Collaboration:
Under the control of SkyNet, 3 0.4-m PROMPT telescopes observed the
location of GRB 060719 (Stamatikos et al., GCN 5339) beginning 36 seconds
after the burst in Ur'i'z'.
We do not see evidence for an optical afterglow to z' > 16.6 mag (3 sigma,
10 sec exposure) at a mean time of 58 seconds after the burst and z' > 18.6
mag (3 sigma; 3 x 40 sec exposures) at a mean time of 5.4 min after the
burst. We do not detect any early brighter emission from the possible
candidate reported by Berger & Bonanos (GCN 5340).
PROMPT is currently being built and commissioned.
