Gamma Ray Burst Mar 19th

Eamonn et all,

Are there any estimates as to the current magnitude? More than two days have passed but I would like to tackle it if it still within reach. I can to mag 19 from home and without the moon doing its thing (which is a problem right now as we just had a full moon).

Anthony,

GRB 080319B was recorded today at mag 20 in the R band.

Thanks for the info Eamonn. That may just be passed my limit at the moment given my equipment (and which will change when the new toy arrives).

Now there is a video released by an observatory in Chile which happened to be looking in the right place at the right time
