We have imaged the entire error circle of GRB021219
(Mereghetti et al., GCN 1766; Gotz et al., GCN 1768)
with the following results:
UTD dt(burst) tele exp filt condx lim_mag
021219.78 11hr 0.4m 8x5min Rc poor 18.0
021220.06 18hr 1.0m 12min Ic poor 19.5
Comparison with the DSS-2 F and N plates show only a few objects
near the plate limit that may or may not be real, but no new
bright object. No galaxies are seen; at galactic longitude 61.8
and latitude +14, this field is relatively close to the galactic plane.
No additional observations are planned.
