Scientific paper

We present optical observations of Gamma-ray Burst afterglows with the SARA 0.9m telescope. We present specific results from GRB 021004, GRB 030323, and GRB 030329. We show the significance for contributions from small telescopes to larger collaborations, and how this provides a major contribution to the science of Gamma-ray Bursts. We show how necessary it is, and will be for the future to form larger collaborations of small telescopes so that more detailed data sets can be established for every burst. As the SWIFT era approaches, it will be necessary for a world wide consortium to be formed, comprised primarily of small telescopes dedicated to GRB science. This will be necessary if multi-band data sets of all triggered bursts are to be obtained.
