TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 12836 SUBJECT: GRB 120116A: Bassano Bresciano Observatory optical observations DATE: 12/01/16 21:37:31 GMT FROM: Ulisse Quadri at Bassano Bresciano Obs U.Quadri, L.Strabla and R.Girelli report: We imaged the field of GRB 120116A detected by SWIFT(trigger 511866) with the robotic telescope of (IAU station 565) Bassano Bresciano Observatory, Italy. The observations started 3min 41sec. after the GRB trigger,with our Schmidt telescope D=320 mm F/D=3.1. Weather conditions were discrete. We co-added a series of 15 exposures of 120sec. We did not found any optical counterpart in the error box of the XRTcandidate (Melandri et al, GCN Circ 12834).
