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.
