A. Oksanen and M. Aho (Jyvaskylan Sirius ry)
report on behalf of AAVSO International GRB Network:

We have observed the optical afterglow of GRB021004 (HETE Trigger 
2380) as reported by Fox et al. (GCN 1564) with the 16-inch Meade 
LX200 telescope of Nyrola observatory in Finland.

Using the same R-band photometric zero-point as Fox et. al. (GCN 
1564), we find object magnitude as Rc=17.7 at epoch of October 4, 
2002 19:52 UT.

Further observations and image calibration is in progress.

report on behalf of the AAVSO International GRB team:

We have observed the optical afterglow candidate
(Fox et al., GCN 1564) for GRB021004 (Shirasaki et al.,
GCN 1565; Doty et al., GCN 1568) from multiple observatories. The 
preliminary photometric reductions are given below; these measures will be 
improved, but indicate the datasets that are currently available:

Where CR indicates unfiltered measures, zeropointed
onto the Rc system.  Further observations are in progress.
