TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 1947 SUBJECT: GRB 030324 optical observations DATE: 03/03/24 17:57:21 GMT FROM: Saurabh Jha at UC Berkeley W. Li, S. Jha, R. Chornock, and A. V. Filippenko (UC Berkeley), report that unfiltered images of a 12 arcmin x 12 arcmin region centered at the position of GRB 030324 (HETE Trigger #2641; 13h37m11s -00d19'22" J2000), covering roughly 90% of the HETE WXC error circle, were taken with the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) at 06:18 UT (about 3 hours after the burst) and show no obvious new source compared with the DSS II (red) to a limiting magnitude of 19.5 mag, consistent with the results of Guzyi et al. (GCN 1945). This message may be cited.
