Given the broad range of error box sizes available from the GRB Coordinates Network (GCN) and the range of time delays involved, there is now the opportunity for many more instruments, than could use the old BACODINE system, to make follow-up observations to detect the GRB counterpart. We present a set of scenarios (some taken from existing GCN site operations and some from anticipated operations) to guide the potential new observer in matching his/her instrument’s capabilities with the GCN burst location information and in setting up the follow-up observing procedures. ©1998 American Institute of Physics.
