Crain report: Skynet observed the field of GRB120909A (GCN 13727, Swift trigger #533060) with the PROMPT telescopes located at CTIO in Chile beginning ~4 minutes after the burst. We detect a fading, uncataloged source at RA 18:22:56.72 DEC -59:26:54.0, roughly coinciding with the location of the Swift trigger with an initial magnitude of ~16.3 in R, calibrated to the NOMAD catalog. Further observations are ongoing.
