The observation started at 11:44, Mar 03 UT (i.e. 0.83 hr post burst) and the observation \n\nwas conducted in r-, i-, R-, z- band. \n\n\n\nIn the median combined image (5 x 120s) of i-band, a possible counterpart is detected near the centre of XRT enhanced \n\nposition (Evans et al., GCN 19132). We noticed that our i-band detection is slightly offset from a previously identified position \n\nby RATIR (Butler et al., GCN 19131) and found another marginal detection at the RATIR detection, i.e., outskirt of XRT \n\nenhanced position (Evans et al., GCN 19132).\n\n\n \nFaint features are barely detected also in an 5 x 120s, r-band exposure, however the detection error is too big to reveal its reality. \n\nIt is in relatively outskirt within XRT enhanced error circle and at the previously reported optical position (Butler et al., GCN 19131; Emery et al., GCN 19134). \n\nIn comparison to other reports, the detection in i-band looks like a fading afterglow (Butler et al., GCN 19131), and the position of\n\n the possible object in r-band is coincident to the previous optical detection by RATIR (Butler et al., GCN 19131) and NOT (De Ugarte et al., GCN 19136). \n\nThe faint r-band source could be the host galaxy or highly contaminated counterpart from the underlying host. \n\n\nThe analysis of R- and z-band images is still ongoing. \n\n\n\nT_mid (hr)  Exposure (s)     Filter       Magnitude (AB)\n\n\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n0.92               5x120               i          22.54 +/- 0.26 \n\n1.13               5x120               r          23.06 +/- 0.41\n\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe fields are calibrated to a nearby star at RA=168.701176, Dec=22.745212 from SDSS.",
