report


On 2007 Jul 21 at 13:47:14 UT the Faulkes Telescope South
observed the field of GRB070721A (trigger=285653, Ziaeepour
et al., GCN 6639).

No new source is detected inside the refined XRT error circle
(Evans et al., GCN 6644) and we can set an upper limit of
R > 20.0 between 3.9 and 4.8 hours after the trigger.
