There is a report of a gamma ray burst (GRB) that has an optical counterpart that people are following. The GCN circular that has the sky coordinates and time of burst is here:

The particularly interesting thing about this GRB is that the Optical Transient (OT) counterpart was seen by the ROTSE III telescope in Siding Spring only 16 minutes after the HETE trigger time. Here is that GCN announcement:

My question is this: Was the field of GRB 041006 in the field of any CONCAM, in particular the SD CONCAM when it went off? We do know that this happens on occasion but here is a good chance for someone who is interested to chase a recent GRB OT.
