"We have observed the entire region of HETE-2 error circle of
GRB031026 (N. Butler et al. GCN2429Not found
 
 
) with 1.0-m telescope Lulin
observatory (Institute of Astronomy, National Central University,
Taiwan) at 26.48-26.72 Oct 2003, corresponding 6-12 hours after the
burst.  We have imaged 9 fields by CCD camera (10'x10' field of view).
These average limiting magnitudes is about 20.9 (SN=3, compared with
USNO-A2.0 red magnitudes).  Comparing with Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2)
image, there are no new object down to the limiting magnitude."

The observation is summarized as follows:
