Vitali report on behalf of the REM team: The robotic 60-cm REM telescope located at La Silla (Chile) observed automatically the field of the GRB 080319B on March 19 06:13:32 UT (about 43 seconds after the burst). We clearly detect the afterglow reported in GCN 7427, 7428, 7430 (Racusin et al.; Holland et al.; Li et al.). The object was still at H~12.5 at about 22 min from the burst time. Further analyses and observations are in progress.
