report:
"We have imaged the proposed optical counterpart (GCN #961) of GRB010222
(GCN #959, 960) on February 23 in the B and V bands with the 152 cm
Loiano telescope (plus EEV CCD) of the Observatory of Bologna.
The seeing was 4 arcseconds. The preliminary magnitudes are given with respect
to the comparison star "A" (GCN 963) = USNO 1275-08542334.

(s)
23.174 B 2400 2.04 +/- 0.07
23.199 V 1800 2.69 +/- 0.09
Thus assuming for the star "A" B=17.60, then the OT had B = 19.64 +/- 0.07".
