A. C. Updike, D. H. Hartmann (Clemson University) and T. D. Oswalt, M.
Rudkin (FIT) report on behalf of the Clemson GRB Follow-Up Team:

We began R-band observations with the SARA 0.9m of the burst 47 minutes
after the trigger (240766).  Our observations consisted of 3 sets of 10 x
300 sec (stacked) images.  We detect a fading source at the UVOT position
(Vanden Berk, GCN 5856).
