  "body": "The candidate for the optical transient (OT) associated with the gamma ray burst\nGRB000301c has been observed in imaging mode with MOS on the 3.6-m CFH Telescope\nin the course of the French GRB follow-up program at CFHT (M. Boer, CESR,\nC. Veillet, CFHT).\n\nThe R image mentioned in GCN588 has been examined for a possible detection\nof the galaxy observed in the near IR (GCN586-587).\n\nNothing is detected at the reported position (1\"E 2\"N). The detection limit in \nthis area of the field is at R~25.\n\nThe OT itself has no significant elongation compared to nearby stars.\n\n\"Something\" is detected at -1\"E 2\"N though. It was not visible on the \nprevious R image taken on March 3.5 due to a much poorer seeing (~1.5\").\nIts magnitude (if real) is 24.7 +/- .3 .\n\nShould I add that more deep imaging is needed?...\n\nImage available at\nhttp://www.cfht.hawaii.edu/~veillet/grb.html\n\nD. Elbaz and H. Flores are acknowledged for their help in these observations.\n\nThis message may be cited.\n\n\n-- \n************************************************************\nDr. Christian Veillet,       CFHT Senior Resident Astronomer\nPhone: (808) 885-3161   http://www.cfht.hawaii.edu/~veillet/\n************************************************************",
