Report on behalf of a larger collaboration:
We observed the optical afterglow of GRB 030329,
(=H2656, Vanderspek et al. GCN 1997), identified
by Peterson & Price (GCN 1985) and Torii (GCN 1986),
in the Johnson B-Band with the SARA 0.9m telescope at
KPNO. We obtained 30, 300s exposures. Observations
began at 03:30:39UT, and ended at 06:15:07UT, on April
2nd. The obsevations were carried out under partial
cloud cover and relatively windy conditions.
Aperture photometry is being carried out, and further
observations are planned.
