European GRB collaboration :
"We have observed the field of GRB 000301C on March 3 and March 5 using the
1-metre telescope of U.P. State Observatory and 2k x 2k CCD. The R magnitudes
calibrated using stars A and D of Garnavich et al. (GCN #573) come out to be
as follows:
Mar 3.93 UT 20.53 +/- 0.05
Mar 5.96 UT 21.18 +/- 0.05
Using all R band observations reported so far the value of alpha
comes out to be 1.02 while excluding the R magnitude reported in #GCN 588,
alpha comes out to be 1.12 +/- 0.1. "
