(INAF/IASF Bo) report on behalf of a larger collaboration:
We observed the field of the possible GRB 060203 (Swift trigger 180151;
Retter et al., GCN 4641) using the 182 cm Copernico telescope located in
Asiago (Italy), equipped with the AFOSC camera. Our images were taken in
the R filter, under moderate conditions (seeing 1.8 arcsec, thin cirrus).
Coaddition of three exposures lasting 10 minutes each one (mean time Feb
4.067 UT, 1.6 h after the trigger) reveals no new sources with respect
to the DSS 2, which reaches a comparable depth.
