report:

"We have observed the error region of GRB 050826 (Mangano et al., GCN
2884) using 1-m telescope at Lulin Observatory, Taiwan. The R band
observations are started at 20.36 UT (~ 14.1 hours after the burst). No
source was found around the position of XRT (Mangano et al., GCN 3889)
and the optical candidate ( Halpern et al.,GCN2891) at our co-add
image (300s x 7). The limiting magnitude is R~ 20.3 compared with
USNOB1.0 stars.
