Pizzichini (IASF-CNR, \nSezione di Bologna) report: \n\nOn 2002 March 18.91 UT we started the observation of a central \nportion of the error box of GRB 020317 with the 152 cm telescope in \nLoiano, (R band, 2x300 sec and 2x600 sec exposure, V band, 1x300 sec).\nCoverage of the entire error box was prevented by weather worsening.\nIn our frames there is no new source brighter than the limit of \nPossII, with the exception of two objects of about m=18.7, and m=17.0 \nwe detected in the images centered at RA=10h 24m 10s, \nDec=+12d 47' 08\" (equinox 2002), size of the field 12'.5 x 12'.5; \nwe tentatively identify these objects as the asteroids 2002 BV18 and \n1999 RW167 respectively. \nIn an R image taken on March 19.85 UT (1200 sec exposure under poor \nsky conditions again, field center at RA=10h 23m 38sec, \nDec=+12d 53' 20\") we cannot confirm the presence of the suspicious \nobject indicated by Jelinek et al in GCN 1278, but we recognized \nthere 1999 RW167. \nOur images can be retrieved by sftp at 'ermione.bo.astro.it', \nusername 'publicGRB', password 'GRB_bo'.\n\nThis message may be cited.",
