On 2002 August 19, 22h16m17s UT we started observations of the
error box of GRB 020819 (GCN 1506, 1507, 1508) with the 152 cm telescope
in Loiano. The acquisition sequence was: R band, 1x600 + 3x900 sec
exposures; V band, 1x900 sec; I band, 1x900 sec; B band, 1x1200
sec; R band, 3x900 sec.
By visual inspection in our R frames there is no new object
brighter than the limit of DssII, in accordance with Price P.A.
and McNaught R.
Image reductions and further observations are in progress.
Our images can be retrieved by sftp at 'ermione.bo.astro.it',
username 'publicGRB', password 'GRB_bo', starting on August 21.
