With the VATT4K CCD we\nobtained 5x120s exposures in the R-band centered around 03:22UT (408 mins\nafter the GRB). A source not seen in the Digitized Sky Survey is\nwell-detected at the coordinates reported by Malesani et al (GCN 16193).\nRelative photometry was carried out using the same nearby star used by\nMalesani et al. which has an R-band magnitude of R=15.13.\n\nOur R-band magnitude for the GRB, 6.81 hours after the initial outburst,\nis R=20.07 +- 0.03. Combining our results with the magnitude from GCN\n16193 we estimate an optical power-law decay index of 0.76.",
