V.V. Golovnya, L.N. Kizyun, L.K. Pakuliak (Main Astro Obs, Kyiv)
report:

We have undertaken the review of the sky area of GRB 090113 (Evans et
al., GCN 8809) on astronegatives, collected in Ukrainian NAS Main
astronomical observatory plate archive (1976-1996). All the plates with 
the possible object appearance are digitized using Microtek ScanMaker
9800XL TMA flatbed scanner and have been placed into Golosiiv Plate 
Archive database DBGPA with open access to them.

The list of plates is given in the table:
YYYYMMDD	UT      	GUA_ID         	Exp. 	LimMag

19891025	20:42:19	GUA040C001518A 	22.5 	16.0
