Search for Optical Counterparts of Gamma Ray Burst
Abstract
Observing prompt optical emission from Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) sources is crucial to understand the processes involved. After brief review of the status of this domain we present ``Pi of the Sky'' project proposing new aproach to the problem. Algorithm for detection of optical flashes is described and the first results from the prototype apparatus are given.
