Scientific paper

Watcher is a 40 cm Classical Cassegrain robotic telescope located at Boyden Observatory, South Africa. In the period of operation from May 2006 to May 2008, 224 GRBs were detected by different gamma-ray satellites. Watcher responded to 141 of these; 106 within 1 day of the GRB, 27 within 1 hour and 6 within 1 minute. A summary of results to date are presented, including the detailed sampling of the prompt lightcurve of GRB 060526 and the detection of bright flares from the galactic transient SWIFT J195509+261406 (aka GRB 070610).
