  "body": "A. Oksanen and M. Moilanen (Nyrölä Observatory GRB-team),\nH. Yamaoka (Kyushu Univ. VSNET GRB-team), and\nA. Henden (USRA/USNO) report:\n\nWe have observed the entire IPN error box of GRB010119 \n(Hurley et al., GCN 916) as part\nof the monitoring effort by the AAVSO GRB network.\nThis GRB was of the short-hard variety and so is of\nconsiderable interest.  However, at a galactic latitude\nand longitude of bII=4.9, lII=43.9, the burst occurred\nin a dense starfield with no visible background galaxies,\nindicating considerable extinction.\n  The observation was made with the Nyrölä Observatory\n0.4-m telescope and Rc-filter on 010121.17 UT, between\nthe two Palomar observations reported by Price, et al.\n(GCN 919).  A total of 12 two-minute exposures were stacked,\nyielding a limiting magnitude of approximately R=19.5 in\n3.4arcsec seeing.  The resultant image can be found at\nhttp://www.jklsirius.fi/grb/grb010119nyt.fit\nAll objects on this image are also visible in the\nscans of the POSS-2 red plate from the NOFS PMM pixel server."
