collaboration report:
We observed afterglow (Klotz et al. GCN 7280) of GRB080210 (Grupe et al.
GCN 7281) with 1.5m telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy) on Feb.10
between (UT) 21:36:37 - 22:49:36. The afterglow is marginally detected
(SNR=1.8) in coordinates R.A.(J2000) = 16 45 03.98 Dec.(J2000) = +13 49
35.8. A photometry against USNO-B1.0 is following:
T0+ Exposure R_mag
(mid)
0.594 d 47x60 s 21.8
The afterglow at 0.594d appears ~1 magnitude brighter than expected from a
slow decay rate of alpha ~0.85 (Perley et al. GCN 7298).
