[AAVSO-HEN] GRB 080319B -- very bright afterglow

[M. Templeton]

Hello everyone,

Swift reports an extremely bright optical afterglow for this one.

It initially hit magnitude 11.5, but it rapidly faded and is likely
below 17 now.  Followups are encouraged, as you may still be
able to detect it even though we're several hours post-burst.
It is also possible it may rebrighten.

Coordinates of the afterglow (from Swift, GCN 7428):

RA(J2000.0) =  14:31:40.98
Dec(J2000.0) = +36:18:08.8

Clear skies,

Matthew
