TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER:  1826
SUBJECT: GRB 030115, simultaneous observations by BOOTES-1
DATE:    03/01/17 13:57:22 GMT

(ASU-CAS Ondrejov), S. Vitek, P. Páta (FEL-CVUT Praha)
and J. Á. Berná  (Univ. de Alicante) on behalf of the BOOTES team,

report:

"We have obtained several unfiltred exposures (45-s each)
under good metereological conditions covering the GRB
030115  HETE-2 error box (Kawai et al. GCN 1816). The
images covered the period  03:22:35 - 03:24:52 UT 15 Jan 2003
(i.e. between 1 and 138-s after the trigger) with the very wide-
field  camera of BOOTES-1 (http://www.laeff.esa.es/BOOTES).

After a visual inspection of the HETE-2 error box in the frames,
we do not find evidence of optical emission, in particular
simultaneously to the burst itself, for which we have an image
covering the time interval 03:22:35- 03:23:20 UT. Therefore we
derive an upper  limit  of R = 10 for any optical emission
simultaneous to this 20-s long GRB."
