behalf of the REM team:

The robotic 60-cm REM telescope located at La Silla (Chile) observed  
automatically the field of the GRB 080319A (GCN 7426, Pagani et al.)  
about 40 seconds after the burst.

We do no detect any source at the position of the optical afterglow  
identified by Malesani et al. (GCN 7436) with a 3sigma upper limit of  
H~15.0 in the first coadded frame at about 100sec after the burst.
