"We have observed the optical afterglow of GRB 060526 with B and R
band using Lulin 1m telescope. After recovery of the weather
condition, the first imaging was started at 17:48 UT (1.33 hours after
the burst).  The afterglow is clearly detected in first image with R =
17.64 +/- 0.05 calibrated relative to USNO-B1.0 catalog.

Further analysis is in progress."
