"On March 29 2003 we have obtained R band photometry of the optical
afterglow of GRB030328 (Peterson & Price GCN #1974) using DOLORES at
TNG. Observations were performed under moderate seeing conditions
(between 1" and 1.5").
A preliminary analysis of the images allowed us to derive the following
photometry for the OT calibrated by means of a Landolt standard field:
20.59 +/- 0.07 at UT 00:10:14, 12.82 hours after the burst
20.79 +/- 0.08 at UT 02:34:41, 15.23 hours after the burst
The photometry for the star "B" reported in GCN #1977 (Price and Peterson)
turns out to be:
16.31 +/- 0.06
We are particularly grateful to the TNG staff for their remarkable support to
these observations."
