Arto Oksanen (Nyrola), Mika Aho (Nyrola), Kevin Rivich (Ft. Bend),
Kim Rivich (Ft. Bend), Doug West (West Skies),
and Doug Durig (Cordell-Lorenz) report on behalf of the AAVSO
International GRB team:

We have observed the optical afterglow candidate
(Fox et al., GCN 1564) for GRB021004 (Shirasaki et al.,
GCN 1565; Doty et al., GCN 1568) from multiple observatories.
The preliminary photometric reductions are given below;
these measures will be improved, but indicate the
datasets that are currently available:

   Date     UT  sec x n  fil  Site           mag

  021005  04:43  20x60   Rc  Ft. Bend 0.9m  19.2

Where CR indicates unfiltered measures, zeropointed
onto the Rc system.  Further observations are in progress.
