W. Li, A. V. Filippenko, R. Chornock, S. Jha (UCB) report:
"The Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) observed GRB021211
(HETE Trigger #2493) in real time. Four batches of observations (a
total of 60 images) were taken during the first three hours after
the burst. The image taken at 108 s after burst (11:20:22 UT) shows
a bright OT at the location reported by Fox et al. (GCN #1731), with an
unfiltered magnitude about 14.8 (USNO-A2.0 calibrations). The OT
faded to mag about 15.3 in an image taken at 171 s after burst,
and was at mag about 15.8 in an image taken at 202 s after burst.
Photometry of subsequent images is in progress."
