TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 7288 SUBJECT: GRB 080210: Super-LOTIS observations DATE: 08/02/10 14:14:49 GMT FROM: Adria C. Updike at Clemson U A. C. Updike (Clemson University), G. G. Williams (MMTO), P. A. Milne (Steward Observatory), and D. H. Hartmann (CU) report on behalf of the Super-LOTIS Collaboration: The robotic 0.6-m Super-LOTIS telescope began observing the error box of GRB 080210 (Swift Trigger 302888, Grupe et al. GCN 7281) at 11:33:46.1 UT, 3 hours and 44 minutes after the trigger. Our observations consist of 57 x 60s exposures in the R-band under good weather conditions. We detect the afterglow reported by Klotz et al. (GCN 7280) in our stacked images. Using 5 field stars from the USNO-B1.0 catalogue, we estimate the following R-band magnitude for the OT: t_start (UT) exp t (s) t_start-t_0 (s) R Mag ---------------------------------------------------------------- 11:33:46.1 3420 11166 R = 21.6 +/- 0.2 Additional observations and analysis are ongoing.
