The robotic 60-cm REM telescope located at La Silla (Chile) observed 
automatically the field of the GRB 080303  on March 03 09:13:30 UT 
(about 180 seconds after the burst).

We detect an afterglow candidate inside the XRT error box down at the 
following coordinates (J2000):

R.A.= 07:28:13.91
Dec.: -70:14:00.3

with an uncertainty of 0.4". The object has H~15.9.

Further analysis is in progress.
