report:
The error circle of GRB 010214 (Gandolfi et al., GCN #933) was imaged in R
and I on February 15, 0:55 UT - 3:49 UT (about 16 - 19 hrs after the burst),
using the Tautenburg Schmidt telescope equipped with the Schmidt focus CCD
camera (fov 35 x 35 arcmin).
A visual comparison of the combined R-band frames with the DSS2 red and the IR
sky survey does not reveal any afterglow candidate brighter than about R=20.
(The DSS IR sky survey excludes a promising candidate at RA, DEC (J2000) =
17:40:55.0, 48:30:51 +/- 1 arcsec which seems to have no counterpart on
the DSS2 red survey; these coordinates are based on the DSS2 red fits file.)
This message is quotable.
