report:
We began observations in Ic of the error box of HETE trigger 2882
(GRB 031026) at 09:30:10 UT (3.9 hrs after the burst) with the 32-inch
Tenagra II telescope. 99% of the error box was covered in four pointings,
with a total integration time of 1350s per pointing.
Comparison to the POSS2 Red & IR images yields no candidates down
to the approximate limiting magnitude of the plates, which we estimate to
be Ic ~ 19.
