We observed the field of GRB 210323A (Gropp et al., GCN 29699) using the
NEXT-0.6m telescope located at Nanshan, Xinjiang, China. Observations
automatically started at 22:03:49 UT on 2021-03-23 (i.e., 91 s after the
BAT trigger), and 3x40 s, 4x60 s and 12x90 s frames were obtained in the
Sloan r-filter.
No optical source is detected in our stacked image at the XRT position
(Gropp et al., GCN 29699), down to a limiting magnitude of r~20.4,
calibrated with nearby PanSTARRS stars.
