M. Nysewander, L. Johnson, D. Moschler, J. Richuso, J. Rose (U. North
Carolina), and D. Reichart (Caltech) report:
We observed ~95% of the ~25 square arcminute error box of GRB 020525 (GCN 1395)
with the 0.6-meter Morehead Observatory telescope beginning 2.95 days after the
burst. We integrated without filter for 2460 seconds under poor observing
conditions (scattered cirrus, relatively high air mass, and a nearly full
moon).
Visual comparison with the DSS reveals no transients down to our limiting
magnitude, which we estimate to be V ~ 17 mag. This is consistent with the
deeper searches of Henden et al. (GCN 1397).
