report:
The OT found by Peterson and Price (GCN 1985) was imaged Cassegrain 38-cm
telescope of CrAO. Several 300 sec. exposures in R (Johnson) obtained
during Apr. 4. Based on filed photometry by A. Henden (GCN 2023) we
estimate the OT magnitude:
Mid time exposure R
(UT)
Apr 4.7686 4x300c 18.12 +/-0.11
4.8236 5x300� 18.32 +/-0.10
4.8412 5x300c 18.04 +/-0.07
After nearly flat period between end of 030402 and end of 030403 (GCN
2083,2084,2092) the OT definitely start a new fading phase. A power-law
index between Apr 3.8160 and Apr 4.8049 can be estimated as alpha ~1.7
A 10x180 sec. exposure image obtained on April 04.8012 can be found in
