FORM FOR SUBMISSION OF OBSERVING PROGRAMME

Title		Search for an optical counterpart of a recent gamma ray burst
Abstract	The SAX satellite recently observed a powerful gamma ray 
		outburst at the coordinates R.A.(2000)=17h29m26.0s, 
		Dec.(2000)=49deg04'35" (see Sky & Telescope, December 1996, pg. 
		10) with an error box below 10 arc min.

		We propose to take deep H alpha and V band images of this field. 
		Discovery of any excessively bright object in H alpha could 
		pinpoint the optical counterpart of the burst. The search for 
		counterparts from the existing catalogues (see Skyview on the 
		net) has turned empty but our exposure could reach deeper. Here 
		we assume the counterpart is close toour galaxy so that no 	
		considerable Hubble shift is present.
