Monard (Bronberg Obs.) reports on behalf of the AAVSO\nInternational GRB network:\n\nAdditional observations of the HETE GRB030725 (=H2779; Shirasaki et al.,\nGCN 2322) error circle were made with the Bronberg 0.30m telescope\nand unfiltered CCD.  Many 45-second exposures with UT midpoint\nof 030728.724 were stacked, with a limiting magnitude\nof about 21CR (based on USNO-A red magnitudes).\n\nThe candidate optical transient located at\n      20:33:59.49  -50:40:56.0 J2000\nthat was reported by Monard (GCN 2324) has now faded below our\ndetection limit.  This strengthens the assertion that this is the\noptical afterglow from GRB030725.  The 030728 fits image will be\nuploaded to ftp://ftp.aavso.org/grb/GRB030725 later today.\n\nWe encourage observations by other sites.\n\n  The AAVSO International GRB network is greatful for a generous grant from\nthe Curry Foundation and to NASA for the financial support for the High\nEnergy Workshops for Amateur Astronomers.",
