The 2-m Faulkes Telescope South began observing Swift GRB 151114A
(Siegel et al. GCN 18599) on November 14, 12:18:07 UT (~2.3 hours after
the BAT trigger) with SDSS R and I filters.

we identify the optical afterglow (Siegel et al. GCN 18599) in the R
filter with R = 20.6 +/- 0.2 mag at a mid time of 2.64 hours post burst
(total exposure 600 s). The counterpart is detected also visible in
the I-band image.
Data reduction and calibration continue. The magnitude is calibrated
against nearby USNOB-1 stars (R2).
