report:

The OT of GRB030329 (Peterson and Price, GCN 1985) was observed by MASTER
system (Lipunov et al., GCN 2002, GCN 2035). Here we represent pre-final
light curve of the OT. We used more than 200 direct images to obtain field
photometry. Several groups of images were summarized to achieve better
S/N ratio and smaller uncertanities of measurements. As the final result, we
represent 64 points. Magnitude calibration was made according to the data,
presented in GCN 2023 (A. Henden). 4 stars were used to do the calibration.

Big uncertanities of magnitude measurements are caused by weather
conditions. First points were made just after sunset on the blue sky, last
points were made through cirruses near the horizont.

From these data we obtained new power law flux decreasing during
8 hours of observations (t-t0 from 5.2h to 13.5h):

F ~ t^(-alpha), alpha=1.22+-0.03
Rmag = 15.8 + 1.2*2.5*log(age in days)
