report:
We have observed the error box of GRB 020405 with the robotic MSO 50-inch
telescope + MACHO imager at 2002 Apr 05.75 UT (approximately 17.5 hours
after the GRB). Upon visual inspection of the images, we find a source
that is not present on the second Digitised Sky Survey. The source is
R ~ 18.5 mag and is located at coordinates:
RA: 13:58:03.12 Dec: -31:22:22.2 J2000
with error approximately 0.3 arcsec in each coordinate.
