Hopkins. The center of the revised\nerror-box (GCN 705) is located at Galactic coordinates (l,b)=(109.58\ndeg, 38.81 deg), and the Schlegel et al. (1998) Galactic reddening\ntoward this direction is very small, E(B-V)=0.024 mag (A_R=0.063\nmag). The stellar field is relatively sparse in this direction.\n\nWe obtained two 300 sec R-band images, starting at UT June 15 10:30\n(i.e. about 4 hours 12 minutes after the detection by BeppoSAX)\nfollowed by one 600 sec R-band image starting at UT June 15 10:42.\nVisual comparison of our combined 1200 sec R-band image with the\nPOSS-II red plate, which reaches about R~20.0 mag, reveals no obvious\n``new'' objects.  Using DAOPHOT-II (Stetson 1992) on our combined\nR-band image we detect about 180 objects with R<20.0 mag in 11x11\narcmin field.\n\nThe combined R-band image of the error-box can be seen at\nhttp://cfa-www.harvard.edu/cfa/oir/Research/GRB/.\n\nFurther observations are planned at FLWO.\n\nThis message can be cited.",
