Gal-Yam, Haim Mendelson (Wise observatory, TAU)\nreport:\n\nWe are observing the field of GRB 030329 (HETE trigger #2652, Ricker et al., GCN 1997) with the\nTEK 1K CCD mounted on the 1-meter telescope of Wise Observatory, Israel.\nBased on the secondary reference stars provided by Henden (GCN 2023,\nRA, Dec (2000) = 10:44:39 +21:30:59, and 10:44:42 +21:32:32), we measure\na magnitude of R=16.40 for the OT at 17:20 UT\n\nPreliminary analysis of 75 images, obtained during three hours of observations\n(17.2 UT - 20.5 UT) yields a power-law decay rate (alpha) of 0.7 +/- 0.1.\nIt appears that the OT decline rate has flattened again, after the\nreported break (Halpern et al. GCN 2021).\n\n[GCN OPS NOTE (30Mar03): Haim Mendelson was added to the author list.]",
