T17 (AstroCamp Observatory, Nerpio, Spain) CDK17 17 inch (0.43 m)
f/6.8 and FLI ProLine CCD camera were used to detect GRB 120326A
optical afterglow 1.7 hours after the burst trigger. The observations were
started at 2012-03-26 02:54:48 (UT) and stopped at 2012-03-26 
03:10:24 (UT). Six unfiltered observations with 120s exposure time were
made. The afterglow was detected at following position RA 18:15:37.13
and DEC +69:15:35.6.

The following magnitude was obtained from the observations using 
NOMAD1 1592-0145660 (R = 17.740) as the comparison:

Tmid(sec)+T0    Filter            Exp (sec)     Mag      Mag err    Limit
