GCN Circular 1806

Subject
GRB 030115, optical observations

We imaged the full error box of the HETE burst GRB 030115
with the 1.2m telescope at the Fred L. Whipple Observatory
starting at 6:35 UT (3 hours and 13 minutes after the burst).
We do not detect the object found by Castro-Tirado et al.
(GCN 1805) and estimate the limiting magnitude of
R=19.8 based on USNO 2.0 catalog magnitudes. A comparison
between our images and the Digitized Sky Survey does not
show any new sources brighter than our magnitude limit within
the HETE error box.
