E. Berger (Princeton/Carnegie) reports on behalf of a larger
collaboration:
"We observed the refined BAT error circle of GRB 080229 (GCN #7338) with
GMOS on the Gemini-South telescope starting on 2008 Mar 1.26 UT (13.1
hours after the burst). We obtained a total of 5x120 sec in g,r,i,z is
0.8" seeing. We do not detect any sources within the XRT error circle
(GCN #7343) to the following 3-sigma magnitude limits: g>26.0, r>25.9,
i>25.6, z>25.3."
