TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 42 SUBJECT: GRB980326 optical observations DATE: 98/04/03 10:32:04 GMT FROM: Adriano Guarnieri at U of Bologna GRB 980326 A. Guarnieri, C. Bartolini, A. Piccioni and G. Valentini University of Bologna, communicate: "A preliminary analysis of two combined 30 min. CCD frames of the GRB 980326 field obtained with the Bologna University 1.5-m telescope in R band on March 27.84 UT with a seeing of 2".8 does not show the OT (mag. limit of the plates about 22). We can state that it was fainter than the second comparison star measured by Groot et al. (IAUC 6852), so its R magnitude was > 21.7. This report is citable.
