Description
We report preliminary optical/infrared photometry and spectroscopy of the SWIFT J1753.3-0127 transient (ATEL #546, #549) obtained at Fred Whipple Observatory (FLWO), Mt. Hopkins, AZ. Nightly R-band photometry was acquired with the FLWO 1.2m telescope between July 2-11 2005 UT achieving a PSF FWHM of 1.8-2.8 arcsec and typically using 60s exposure times. The images were calibrated using Landolt standard stars.
