Scientific paper

We have constructed an ultra wide field telescope named WIDGET to observepossible prompt optical emission associated with GRBs or shock breakout ofSN explosions. Performing the simultaneous observation with GRB satellitesuch as HETE-2 and Swift, the telescope should have an ultra-wide FOV. TheWIDGET telescope has 70 degrees FOV in each side which covers almost all ofthe FOV of those satellites. WIDGET is located at Akeno Observatory inJapan where is about 150km away from Tokyo. The telescope is in operationsince June 2004. We will present the status and early results of one andhalf year observations in the conference.
