After HETE alert 3693 MASTER robotic telescope (http://observ.pereplet.ru)
had imaging the corresponding area of the sky under the good weather
conditions. We have about 50 unfiltered images of the error box (30s
exposition, 6 square degrees field) started at 16 Mar 2005 21:13:01
UT (103 s after GRB time).
The limiting magnitude on the images was about 18.0.
We have about 50 low resolition spectra (50A) 40'x30' area.
The JPG-images (with possible candidate and asteroids) are available at
http://observ.pereplet.ru/images/GRB050316/2.jpg
This is preliminary result.
