red band images of the error box of GRB 980425 (Soffitta et al. 1998;
IAUC 6884) taken at the 50in telescope at the Australian National
University's Mt. Stromlo Observatory on April 26.63 UT (1800s) and April
28.68 UT (1800s) shows no variation > 0.2 mag down to about 21 mag at
the location of the transient BeppoSAX NFI X-ray source 1SAXJ1935.3-5252
(Pian et al. 1998; GCN #61)."
This work is based partly upon images obtained by the MACHO Project
with the 50in telecope at the Australian National University's Mt. Stromlo
Observatory.
