TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER:  1398
SUBJECT: GRB 020525: Optical Observations
DATE:    02/05/28 19:01:55 GMT
FROM:    Daniel E. Reichart at U.Chicago/Astro  <reichart@oddjob.uchicago.edu>

M. Nysewander, L. Johnson, D. Moschler, J. Richuso, J. Rose (U. North 
Carolina), and D. Reichart (Caltech) report:

We observed ~95% of the ~25 square arcminute error box of GRB 020525 (GCN 1395) 
with the 0.6-meter Morehead Observatory telescope beginning 2.95 days after the 
burst.  We integrated without filter for 2460 seconds under poor observing 
conditions (scattered cirrus, relatively high air mass, and a nearly full 
moon).

Visual comparison with the DSS reveals no transients down to our limiting 
magnitude, which we estimate to be V ~ 17 mag.  This is consistent with the 
deeper searches of Henden et al. (GCN 1397).
