Bannister, N. Tanvir (U. Leicester) report on behalf of larger GRB 
collaboration:

The 2-m Faulkes Telescope South observed the field of GRB 080413B
(trigger=309111, Stamatikos et al. GCN 7598) starting 8.7-hr after the 
trigger time.
We detect the optical afterglow (Stamatikos et al. GCN 7598, Kruehler et al.
GCN 7599, Antonelli et al. GCN 7600) and measure the following magnitudes:

Filter   T_mid(hr)    Exposure(s)       Mag

R          8.74          30          19.00 +/- 0.15
I          8.90         640          18.91 +/- 0.05
I          9.20        1080          19.15 +/- 0.05
I          9.54        1080          19.22 +/- 0.06
