TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 2009 SUBJECT: GRB 030329: Upper limit from 5.6 hours before trigger DATE: 03/03/30 00:17:01 GMT FROM: James Wren at LANL <jwren@nis.lanl.gov> J. Wren and W. T. Vestrand report on behalf of the RAPTOR team: While the location of HETE-2 trigger 2652 was below our horizon at the time of the GCN notice, we did obtain observations earlier in the evening of the GRB field with one of our wide-field RAPTOR sky monitors. The observation nearest to the time of the burst was taken at 05:58:39.56 UT, 5.64 hours before the event. This image does not show the optical counterpart to a 3-sigma limiting magnitude of Rc=12.8. Unfortunately, the weather degraded rapidly later in the night, preventing further observations of this field.
