TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 2373 SUBJECT: GRB 030824: Candidate Follow-Up DATE: 03/08/31 23:42:32 GMT FROM: Melissa Nysewander at UNC,Chapel Hill <mnysewan@astro.unc.edu> M.C. Nysewander, J.C. Clemens, J.A. Moran and D.E. Reichart (University of North Carolina) report: Upon further inspection of the images of the candidate reported by Moran et al., GCN 2363, we find that the transient was the product of faulty hardware. Our new camera had not been fully tested by the time of the burst alert, and below spec CTE problems seemed to have caused the fading/variable source apparent in the images. We apologize for any confusion.
