report:
The BOOTES-2 very wide field camera, located at the
Estación Experimental de La Mayora (EELM-CSIC) in
Málaga, observed the region of the sky containing the
SWIFT/BAT error box for GRB 050215b (Barthelmy et al.
GCN 3024) as part of its routine observing schedule.
A 30 s exposure started at 02:33:05 UT (7 s prior to
the onset of the 10 s long burst), with the following
frame starting at 02:34:05 UT. Limiting (unfiltered)
magnitude of 10.0 is derived for any prompt optical
flash arising from this event.
