Dear all, regarding my observations of SGR4641 starting at 2002 July 5, I am sure that I saw the intense increase of magnitude of the "star". Also, I have observed this behaviour again the nigth of July 5 and 6. Yet, the flares that I Have reported are not simultaneous. To value the magnitude of the flares I Have used the stars GSC 6848:3606 10.9 and GSC 6848:3245 11.9. Because the short time to make the estimation of the magnitude it is possible that I Have overestimated the flares, but this is that I saw.
