Observers notes: (these notes are added by observers at the end of followup)

GRB120326A was observed at Bassano Bresciano Observatory (565) for 3 nights covering 8 hours span. 
Photometric measurements have been done using the telescope Schmidt 0.32m F/3.1. and
Starlight CCD camera HX-516 applied at direct focus. 120 sec. exposure time and 2x2 binning
were used for all photos. All exposure were unfiltered.
Every night flat field and dark have been captured and all images were corrected with them.
In order to capture faint objects 60 shots was added before measurement
MPO Canopus version 10.4.0.20 was used to perform differential photometry on the reduced images.
These are comparison star used:

Observations made to Cima Rest Observatory during a collaboration with Bassano Bresciano

The observations:
had started 5d 19h 49m after the burst (2012-03-31 at 21h 08m UTC)
and ended 6d 00h 33m after the burst (2012-04-01 at 01h 51m UTC)

We co-added 40 exposures of 300s each captured at telescope D=508 mm F/D=5 of (IAU station B11), Italy

RESULTS:

We detected very faint optical couterpart of 21.8 (+/- 0.1) unfiltered CCD magnitude.
