Not sure if this has been posted ( couldn't find any post regarding this),
but according to the West Australian the Zadko telescope in Gingin, WA was remotely ordered to look at a GRB by the Swift satellite ( not directly I know :) ) on October 24, 2010 .

Yes I can understand what they are talking about. This is really neat stuff. Great for the future of amateur astronomy.
