report:


The 2m Faulkes Telescope South (Siding Spring, Australia) automatically 
reacted to the Swift burst GRB 060923C (trigger 230711, Stamatikos et al.,
GCN 5591). 

Observations were performed in the R-band. From t=19.38 min to t=20.27 min 
(after the burst event) a 3x10s stacked image gives a limiting magnitude 
R > 19.5 inside the XRT error circle (Stamatikos et al. GCN 5591).
