3Abstract
The requirements of a gamma‐ray burst optical counterpart detector are reviewed. By taking advantage of real‐time notification of bursts, new instruments can make sensitive searches while the gamma‐ray transient is still in progress. A wide field of view camera at Livermore National Laboratories has recently been adapted for detecting GRB optical counterparts to a limiting magnitude of 8. A more sensitive camera, capable of reaching mv=14, is under development. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/87629/2/633_1.pd
