The ROTSE-III 0.45-m telescope located at Los Alamos National
Laboratory responded to the announcement of GRB011019 (GCN 1109) at
2:20 UT, 20-Oct-2001, 17.6 hours after the burst was detected by
HETE-2. Twenty 60-second exposures were obtained followed by
additional images at 05:49 UT on 20-Oct-2001 and at 02:16 UT on
21-Oct-2001. With a threshold detection level of m_R ~ 19, no fading
transients were discovered within the 35' two sigma error circle.
Two asteroids within the error box were identified by their
proper motion.
