  "body": "H. S. Park, R. Porrata (LLNL), G. Williams (Clemson Univ.)\nreport on behalf of the LOTIS collaboration:\n  \nThe Super-LOTIS telescope (0.6 m reflector; 0.8 deg fov) responded to the   \nBeppoSAX alert (GCN 417) automatically on Oct 15.528 UT (14.8 hours after\nthe GRB: 5:40 AM local time). The original BATSE trigger 7803 came \nat 2:21 PM local time and another BATSE trigger 7805 occuring the same \nevening prevented us from covering the GRB991014 location at earlier times.  \nAt the time of this trigger, our camera was not running the TEs because of \nrecent replacement of the CCD (Super-LOTIS is in the integration phase \nat LLNL.) No astronomical filter was used for these imaging.\n  \nWe obtained 9 images (40 s integration time each) before dawn. We have \nvisually compared these individual images and the summed image with the \nDigital Sky Survey. No new source was identified within the BeppoSAX/WFC \nerror box brighter than R = 16.8 +/- 0.3 from the summed image.\n \nThe LOTIS (17.6 x 17.6 deg fov) telescope was also running and covered \ntrigger 7805; so its sky patrol did not obtain early coverage of the \nGRB991014 location. The Super-LOTIS limit supercedes the LOTIS limit \nfor the BeppoSAX triggered images.\n \nFurther analysis is in progress and associated data will be placed\non our web page."
