report:
"We have obtained three 10-minute exposures of the BeppoSAX
position of GRB 990907 (Gandolfi et al. GCN 404, 405) with the
0.61-m Mount John University Observatory (MJUO) telescope.
The images were taken on Sep 9.40 UT through a broad band filter
(R + I bandpass). After a visual comparison with the Digital Sky
Survey, no sources varying by more than 0.3 mag were seen to the
DSS-2 limit within the BSAX NFI error box (GCN 409) in agreement
with the negative results provided by Palazzi et al. (GCN 413)."
