report:

Skynet observed the localization of GRB 080210 (Grupe et al., GCN 7281) 
with two of the 16" PROMPT telescopes at CTIO beginning 362 seconds 
after the trigger (27 seconds after notification) in VRI.

We detect the afterglow (Klotz et al., GCN 7280) in all filters.  At 382 
seconds after the burst, we measure V ~ 17.4 mag (calibrated to 2 NOMAD 
stars).
