GRB 001025: Optical observations
J. P. U. Fynbo, P. Moller (ESO, Garching),
B. Milvang-Jensen (U. of Nottingham), I. Burud (U. of Liege),

on behalf of a larger collaboration report:
"We have obtained images covering the error box of GRB 001025
(Smith et al., GCN #861; Hurley et al., GCNs #863, 864) with the
1.54-m Danish Telescope (+DFOSC) on La Silla, the 8.2-m Antu
(VLT UT1) (+FORS1) on Paranal, and the 2.56-m Nordic Optical
Telescope (NOT) (+ALFOSC) on La Palma, as follows:
Start (UT) Tel. Filter Exp.time Seeing Lim.Mag
===================================================
Oct. 26.29 Dk-1.5m R 3x300s 1.4" ~22.5
Oct. 26.34 Antu R 10x200s 0.8" ~24.5
Oct. 27.20 NOT R 13x600s 1.7" ~23.2
Oct. 27.32 Antu R 8x200s 0.8" ~24.5
The limits are preliminary and based on USNO-A2.0 photometry.
Comparison of the images yields no significantly variable
objects down to R=24.5.
