Price (AAVSO) \nreport on behalf of the AAVSO International High Energy Network on\noptical observations of GRB050505 (GCN #3360, Hurkett et al.):\n\nNo afterglow candidate is found in the field or at the location of\nthe afterglow reported by Cenko et al. (GCN 3366) to a limiting\nunfiltered (R-like) magnitude of 18.5 using USNO-A2.0 reference\nstars. Observation midpoint time was 02:19 UT on May 6, 2005\n(2.9hrs after burst). Details of the observation are below along\nwith a link to the FITS image.  The unfiltered observations have\nsignificant Rc/Ic contribution and so are complementary to the\nUVOT observations reported by Rosen, et al. (GCN 3367).\n\n Name: Dennis Hohman\n email: dennishohman@adelphia.net\n Observer: Dennis Hohman\n Site: Stone Edge Observatory\n Location: Orchard park, NY\n LatitudeLongitude: -78.75, 42.76\n Elevation: 950 ft\n Scope: C8\n ScopeFocalRatio: 6.1\n CCDVendor: ST7XME\n CCDDetector: KAF401E\n CCDSize: 382x255\n CCDPixelScale: 3.0\n CCDFOV: 12.9x19.4\n Object: GRB050505\n ObsDate: 05/06/05\n ObsMidPointTime: 02:19\n TimePerFrame: 240 sec\n NumberOfFrames: 7\n Filters: CR\n Processing: Flatfield,Dark sub, avg\n Seeing: 3.8\n LimitingMag: 18.7\n Sky: Clear, some high clouds\n afterglowmag: \n afterglowerr: \n compstars: \n Report: Entire error circle covered.
