"The 2-m Liverpool Telescope robotically followed up GRB 091127 (Swift
trigger 377179; Troja et al. GCN 10191) 2.35 min after the GRB trigger
time. The automatic "detection mode" procedure detected an uncatalogued
fading afterglow candidate at:

02:26:19.89 , -18:57:08.60    (J2000) uncertainty 0.5"

with magnitude of about R = 15.0 (vs USNOB1)
