(SAO) report:
We have observed the entire error box of GRB 020127 / HETE #1902 with 600mm
automated telescope (TT600) of Kosmoten observatory. Observation started
after HETE Ground Analysis (HETE #1902, Seq_Num: 4).
3 sets of images were obtained at 27 Jan 23:40 (i.e. 2h 43m after bursts),
28 Jan 00:55 and 28 Jan 02:35. Each sets covered the entire error box by
several images with fixed exposure of 8 sec. The observations were carried
under unfavorable conditions due to increasing cirrus.
No new objects were found in the GRB error box (Ricker et al., GCN 1229).
