A BeppoSAX follow up of GRB000615 with the Narrow Field Instruments
started around June 15 at 16:20 UT, i.e. about 10 hours after the GRB.
A quick look analysis of the first orbits of MECS (1.6-10 keV) data shows
a faint and previously unknown source inside the field.
The coordinates are:
R.A.(2000)= 233.058
DEC(2000)= 73.814
with a 1.5' error radius.
This object may be compatible with a radio source from NVSS Catalogue 1.3'
away (RA: 233.043, DEC: 73.835) and not necessarily associated to the GRB.
